"WHO THE FC-K CARES!"

Draft-dodger Donald Trump once said that the danger he faced from getting sexually transmitted diseases was his own “personal Vietnam.†In a 1997 interview with shock jock Howard Stern, Trump talked about how he had been “lucky†not to have contracted diseases when he was sleeping around. “I’ve been so lucky in terms of that whole world. It is a dangerous world out there. It’s scary, like Vietnam. Sort of like the Vietnam-era,†Trump said in a video that resurfaced Tuesday on Buzzfeed, “It is my personal Vietnam. I feel like a great and very brave soldier.â€
Did Trump actually dodge the draft? Did his daddy use his power/influence to position him in such a way as to dodge the draft?
Curious...anyone have info readily available. Being lazy.
Your talking about Cruz right?????????????
“Hey!
Looky here! A scummy Trump hit piece!
PATHETIC LOSERS.”
Yup.
Nobody knows when they join if they will or won’t fight until they finish their time in the mnilitary. Just because you join during peacetime it does not mean there won’t be a war while you are in. Just because there is a war does not mean you will absolutely be sent to fight. BTW, we did do Desert Shield/Storm when Cruz was about 20.
Gaffer, I’ve been a member on FR a long time and rarely post as you can see. I have logged in of late because it is election season. I have no intent to upset anyone on here. Not you, not anybody. My perspective is that these men want something from us. They want us to put them in a position over us. The article is not a slap at you at all.
To Jim, hello. If FR does not allow postings from this paper, pull it as I wasn’t aware. Have a nice day.
What B.S.!
How dare he compare the risks of war to the risks of indiscriminate sex!
That pampered blowhard wouldn’t last a day in a battlefield environment.
Sometimes even the blind squirrel finds the next president.
He did spend time in the bush.
I would think all here are mature enough to see through the hyperbole of the title and assess the article for what facts are present.
It would be difficult to post the statements made without posting the title, and I, personally, think those statements are important.
I am not a veteran, but most of my friends are. They would be singularly offended by the suggestion that there was a valid comparison between bedhopping and service in any branch of the military, in any capacity, especially equating licentious activities with service in Vietnam.
How can you not see the error in your logic here?
WE (conservatives) haven't forgotten about Clinton's lechery. Not only have YOU forgotten but you are currently turning a blind eye to another lech. WE (conservatives) are not the ones being inconsistent. YOU are the one being like the Libs you are condemning.
You can’t debate the merits of the issue, so you call names. How Islamic of you...
This reads like most of the crap that’s been coming across my stupid facebook feed for the last few weeks.
Like the man said, Bless your little heart...
And he was in his mid twenties when he moved to canada from the states. Maybe he didn’t want to take the chance of being drafted in the 60’s. I wonder if he even registered for the draft after gaining political asylum.
Ted Cruz was 28 when we entered Afghanistan, 29 when we entered Iraq. He could have served had he chosen to. At the least he could have joined the Guard or Reserves.
It doesn’t matter whether he joined or not as far as I’m concerned, no one was or is required to, not since the draft ended in the 1970’s. And even with the draft, deferments were easy to come by.
So this whole lack of military service argument to discredit presidential candidates is just so much Bravo Sierra. Only a relatively small percentage of American men ever put on the uniform. We can and should honor those who served, but let’s not dishonor those who didn’t.
Smooth
Vietnam 68-69
You know what’s worse than sleeping around? Betrayal.
That the current ‘conservative’ stalwarts in congress couldn’t wait until the votes were counted to shove the shiv in all our backs.
I know Trump isn’t a social conservative. At this point I don’t care.
LOL! You're just mad because it wasn't a scummy Cruz hit piece.
Keep in mind there is probably an anti-trust law somewhere about Trumpettes monopolizing the scummy hit piece market.
So many "conservative" suckers.
I wondered why the squirrel just sat there, now I know. It’s because he’s blind!
