Someone said W. Bush was in the military. He was in the national guard.
"George W. Bush joined the 147th Fighter Interceptor Group of the Texas Air National Guard on May 27, 1968, during the Vietnam War. He committed to serve until May 26, 1974, with two years on active duty while training to fly and four years on part-time duty."
I've gained respect for NG especially after watching four dead NG Soldiers arrive at my Field Hospital in Afghanistan. Bullets and IEDs didn't descriminate. NG pilots served in Vietnam. If Donald did his service in Guard, Reseves, or Active, he'd have served.
Bernie Sander applied for conscientious objector status but was too old to be drafted.
I'd vote for a conscientious objector any day over a "chicken hawk" like trump.
At least a conscientious objector is thinking, and knows that war is a very serious thing. He doesn't want to kill or be killed over what he regards as bullsh_t. He doesn't want that for your kids either.
...And if bernie was a conscientious objector, that is exactly consistent with his record to this day -- e.g. his opposition to Bush's disastrous "mission accomplished" debacle, and his proposals to focus less funding on the military-industrial complex and more funding on our crumbling bridges, education system, healthcare, etc.
How about trump's consistency? "Bone spurs" deferment for the self-described "most militaristic guy you'll ever know".
...As obviously a "chickenhawk" as he is a con artist.
And the closest Trump's SONS will ever come to serving in the military is shooting a helpless elephant, cutting off its tail and posing with it, like a tough guy. His sons live as cushy a life as he does, though trump is the "most militaristic guy you'll ever know", ready to send YOUR SONS (& daughters) to die... (not to mention willfully killing noncombatants, like the families of terrorists).
To all the people who embrace this obviously stupid con-artist as your "hope," it says something deep about you, your intellect and character.
I have no doubt that Mr. Trump's father was able to spend money to obtain a medical deferment for his son. It was how it was done. Find a friendly MD, and you were fixed.
Yes, a doctor who can be bought to write an excuse note about bone spurs often has an MD son who writes that, "If elected, Mr. Trump will be the healthiest President in the history of the country, going back to George Washington."

Thank you for fact checking.
FYI ... I mentioned Austin, since it is in your moniker, is/was the location of Bergstrom AFB which was deactivated in 1993. GW flew the F-106, an interceptor aircraft which was never assigned to VN for the obvious reason.
Yes, you are correct. IIRC, she even claimed to have visited a recruiting office, though there is no record of her having done so.
Yeah. Bubba claimed there was no 'evidence' that he wrote a letter to the ROTC commander. He rode that pony because he knew the original had mysteriously vanished. Worked until the First Shirt of the ROTC detachment produced a copy he had made. Oh yeah again ... remember the 'blue dress' that didn't exist?
Thanks for looking it up. I did also, and it seems that as recently as Nov 2015 she was still telling that lie ... along with the bullets in Bosnia.
