He didn’t attack our POWs.He attacked ONE.

He said he liked people who weren't captured. That was a whole lot more than one. Regardless, where does Trump get of criticizing McCain's time, or anyone else's time, as a POW when he made sure he'd stay safe at home?

He was referring to McCain.If anyone else who was a POW is offended,let them speak up.
And you just know the MSM types are out there trying to find them.

I guess I had better stay out of Politics, they would hang me for being Blind as a Bat.

Would you ever dream of making disparaging comments about anyone who did serve, even McCain, and who went to war, even McCain, and who was shot down and spent time as a POW? If not then not only are you smarter that Trump but you probably could carve out a better political career than he will.

I just don’t care. Bill Clinton effectively neutered that issue a long time ago.

I don't particularly care if a candidate served in the military or not; let's face it we may never see another veteran in the Oval Office ever again. But I do expect those who didn't serve not to criticize the military service of those who did. Political positions, yes. But not military careers.

You can be sure that the Left will stop at NOTHING to destroy Trump--or anyone who threatens their delusions or their agenda.

NOTHING is beneath them.

Regardless of its pretensions, the Left has no ethics and no morality. It represents only Western Decadence, the soulless dungheap of human delusions at their worst.

My boyfriend got 263 and he turned to me and said “women and children will go before me” He was right. Half the guys I knew got student deferments to attend college . My cousin got one to go to law school. They were handed out left and right. It was no big deal. Bashing Trump for getting deferments is total bull hockey.

I honestly don't care if it was just McCain. Where does Trump get off criticizing the military service of any POW when he did all he could to make sure he wouldn't have to serve along side them? Criticize him for McCain's position, yes. Criticize him for all Trump supporters wackos, sure. But military service and time as a POW is a new low for Trump. But I expect he'll stoop even lower than that before this campaign is done.

How many of your friends and family who got deferments and didn't have to go to war have publicly insulted anyone who did? I think that's why this is of interest in Trump's case.

My parents mailed me the notice to report for induction. I had been on active duty for a year when the Selective Service System Shitheads drafted me. I wrote to inform them of such. What I wish now is that I had scripted a missive calling them every bad name and insult imaginable. That would have been enjoyable😀

You are correct my FRiend. I said earlier that I have no idea how Trump can survive this and I have other Posters calling me a quitter, or something.

Heck I’m a Cruz guy and I have said that at this point in time, before these latest Trumpisms, that I would have no problem with Trump as Cruz’s V.P. choice.

I can’t wait until Obama milks this for all its worth when he attends the VFW Convention. Bank on it.

As an aside, Two of my Nephews. Air Force and Marine served in Afghanistan and Iraq. We are all very proud of them.

Unfortunately, our Marine Nephew was killed in a Motorcycle Accident after coming Home. He had just Graduated College and had a wonderful new Job he had started just two weeks before his Death.

He survived Two Tours in Afghanistan and all it took was one Moronic Woman who decided to make a Left Turn right in front of him. He was killed instantly. His Mother will never recover. She has been damaged for Life losing her only Son.

Notice how Obama can turn our Military into a Social Experiment for Deviants and he gets no criticism whatsoever?
Just an observation.
