theres lots of folks who didnt serv CW they should not be condemned for that
I guess we just are going to believe what we believe CW
I dont think this kind of stuff hurts him one bit but the dems keep throwing it out there and hoping
I think I responded to this earlier but I might have shut the computer down to go mow the yard before it got sent.
So . . . It's not particularly that Trump didn't serve. It's that he didn't serve and laughed about how he got out of serving with his "bonespurs," and stated that he should have gotten a medal for not catching V.D. And how he has publicly disparaged "losers" who got killed or captured, like John McCain, who underwent 5-1/2 years of torture and beatings in North Vietnamese prisons.
So his reported comments disparaging the dead of previous wars is perfectly consistent with what we already know of him. Not from fake news (i.e., any news that makes Trump look bad), but from things that are part of the public record.
What would be
inconsistent with his known behavior would be for him to express genuine respect, regret, and mourning for our war dead.
As an aside, I have come to believe that a man who didn't serve during his generation's war should not be the POTUS. We've had three Vietnam-era presidents, and two of them ("I loathed the military" Clinton and "bonespurs" Trump) took positive steps to avoid it and the other (W) took positive steps to serve in the cushy Air National Guard.
Not a great record. Not exactly ancient Athens, where all male citizens--even philosophers like Socrates--served as hoplites in the line of battle.
