Also embellished or not its Rich to see people supporting someone who they know damn well used his privilege and money to get out of the draft turn around and question a man who served 24 years. The gall of it all.
Look I don't have a problem with so.eone who refuses the draft especially over a conscientious objection. Plenty of people have done it. Some even going to prison for it. At least they owned it. They didn't use daddy's power and wealth to skirt around

Yes unfortunately we had two draft dodgers in a row as President
It should be that BEFORE you could run for president you had to spend time in the military. Like 4 years minimum

Im not as upset about them using their ability to dodge it as much as the way he denigrates those that went.

Why? Before the person that can send our servicemen to war you don’t believe that they should know what it is to be a serviceman

Before the person that can send our servicemen to war you don’t believe that they should know what it is to be a serviceman So a guy who was drafted and spent 365 days in Vietnam wouldn’t be qualified to be POTUS. Sometimes you should review your post before letting everybody know how you really feel. Any opinions on Medal of Honor recipients? How many tours they gotta do to qualify?

Are you an idiot?
I said anyone that runs for president and Commander in Chief should have been in the military first.
How on earth would you say a person that was drafted and spent 365 days in Vietnam would not qualify. Yes he would qualify as long as he was in the military for the minimum amount of time that was set as a requirement

Like 4 years minimum You said 4 years, you can no longer be taken seriously. You should take a break. I You are the TROLL that can’t be taken seriously any longer. What can you not understand about four years? Yes if a person was drafted and went to Nam that time would count towards the 4 years. But to get a better picture of military life and protocols four years would be a better timeframe. Get a life - TROLL

Was Vance ever in combat? " What shouldn’t be lost in the conversation is that both Vance and Walz served their country honorably and had no marks against their records when they were in uniform. That’s the main thing that shouldn’t be forgotten. It gets said so much that it can be trite, but maybe in this case it’s particularly apt: Gentlemen, thank you for your service." Yes, that... and the fact that Vance never claimed to have been in combat, where Tampon Tim did in fact make that false claim. So... that's a difference worth noticing. I thought your party of would-be tyrants was all about suppressing "disinformation"? Not so much it seems when it's their disinformation.

Neither party is my party on the national scene. No honorably discharged veteran should be "swift boated".

We owe all servicemen a great deal
We owe combat veterans much more
We owe the Vietnam Veterans possibly more than any veterans. They came back to disdain and rejection for serving their country when called upon. It was not their fault that they were serving in an unpopular war. I lost relatives and friends in that war. It sickened me to watch how these valiant warriors have been treated for the last 50 years.
WW2 vets were of our greatest generation
Vietnam Vets were of our most unappreciated generation
Now, when it is too late for many of these heroes the government is beginning to take proper care of them
May God bless them and all of our servicemen and take care of them

At least they owned it. They didn't use daddy's power and wealth to skirt around As has been pointed out multiple times now. Nobody is criticizing the man for his service. The criticism is toward his embellishments which are known to be false. Why not just tell the truth and be proud of the service he actually gave. There is no need for him to falsely embellish his service. That’s what his service related criticism is about. Even his critics have thanked him for the actual service he gave. Not sure why people are choosing to be offended by legitimate criticism.

Let's be real here. One candidate is a confirmed draft dodger. The other for vp might or might not have misspoken regarding being in a shooting war. Which one is more reputable? The draft dodger or the man who spent years serving his country?
