Why should a vet sign up for a non-vet; especially if the non-vet could have been a vet when his country was in need?
Because of his conservative voting record.
Because he isn’t a RINO like McCain.
Because his record doesn’t include support for the amnesty bill, abortion, high taxes, gun control, I can go on here.
If Fred had enlisted, he would have been assigned to the JAG Corps. Would that have helped win the Vietnam war?
I could also point out that Fred was a Goldwater backer and there would have been no extended Vietnam war if he had prevailed.
