who cares. Fact is veterans and all Americans are safer when Islam immigration is banned.

During the Vietnam War, the recruiting stations in Plattsburgh NY had signs in French. More Canadians fought in the war in the US military in Vietnam than Americans dodging the draft in Canada. Also, the draft was not just for American citizens. Anyone living within the United States, even students from abroad, were eligible for the draft. During the Korean War, an older fellow I know was drafted into the Army a month after he arrived here from Italy. He was on a troopship headed for Korea before he knew what happened. He later worked for my Dad, and the Army docked his pay for a BAR they said he lost.

“Politicians ripped that victory away from US...Come what come may, I’m voting for Trump.”

Good point. Since he’s now too old to fight, what counts NOW is whether he will use our troops as cannon fodder or allow them to operate freely, as done in countries that actually want to win.

His daddy fled to Canada and returned to the US, 3 months after the peace accord.

I believe it. My friend got caught in a rule change and had to get out or become a US citizen to stay in the Army. I would guess that those rules change in wartime when they need people.

When Trump tells you that Vietnam Vets are punk ass bitches after the election what are you going to do?

Tell me about it, I came here on a student visa, and as soon as my employer sponsored me for green card, I had to register for draft.

First he has to win SC.
If he loses SC, the wall gets much higher.

I remember when Ronald Reagan said that our fighting men did not lose the Vietnam War, they were “denied the right to win.”

Ronald Reagan is the only president of my lifetime who I truly miss.

Thank-you for your service.

More desperation from the Establishment.

Sorry Establishment Media it will not work.... We see how you worship another draft dodger Bill Clinton.

Take notice Establishment. A sunami is heading your way this November.

Hey, I’m asking. I have read this somewhere.

I read that Cruz came to the University of Texas (or something) courtesy of Castro.
