You were born in 1946, meaning that you were draftable during the Vietnam War, and this was well before the draft lottery.
How did you weasel out of military service?
And, how dare you criticize those who served, when you never wore the uniform?
.
You're falling for it.
I guess you never criticized John Kerry?
McCain has enjoyed sticking knives into the backs of Conservatives and the Tea Party patriots for years using his POW war hero status as his shield.. Google the POW/MIA families and organizations to see what they have to say about John McCain and his hero status
You should look around on YouTube and watch McCain’s treatment of a woman representing the families of MIA men when MFN for Vietnam was being discussed.
Your defense of the man would evaporate in mere moments.
John McCain drove MFN home for Vietnam against the wishes of veterans groups and the families of MIA men in Vietnam.
He was very crude to them.
Trump nailed him.
BTW: If you know of something Trump did that was illegal related to serving in the military in those years, please tell us what it is.
How did Cheney, Mitt, Rove and a host of other patriotic republicans weasel out of it?
For what is worth, Ronald and Nancy loathed John McCain and wanted nothing to do with him, they felt he was a man of no character.
A lot of Boomers didn’t serve if they had a college deferment. My uncle didn’t serve for that reason.
How is a young man getting an education a ‘weasel out’?
There were about 27 million men of draft age during the war. Of those, about 2 million served.
So are you going to go after the other 25 million men who didn’t go for one reason or another?
Such a prejudiced post by you Seaplaner...
First, the no of young people drafted was just a small fraction of total no. of young people of draft age. There was no need to draft every young person of draft age. The military needs were not that big during Vietnam war.
Student deferment was a legal option available to all. The country needs college educated people along with military people.
Finally, there is nothing in the constitution which requires any presidential candidate to have served in the military.
You have something against legal options and the constitution?
McCain was an inept pilot, who managed to get shot down. That does not make him a war hero. To be a hero, there has to be evidence of above average bravery, sacrificing own life to save other soldiers, or above average destruction of enemy assets. Audie Murphy was a war hero. Red Baron was a war hero because he shot down 80 enemy planes. McCain was simply a war victim. Similar to any prisoner of war who is brutalized by their captors.
You’re engaging in political correctness. The Left won’t permit anyone to criticise illegal immigrations just as the Right won’t permit anyone to criticise anyone who serve in the military no matter what they actually done
Who did he criticize for "serving"? All I saw was Trump putting the word "hero" in proper perspective. Many serve but very few are "heroes" unless you are trying a suck up.
Cause that war hero is a traitor to us now
Is that accurate
I never served and I criticize McCain and I criticize John "F'n" Kerry also...
Just because one served does not elevate them to some sort of protected status...
Why do the proprietors of the Hanoi Hilton refer to McCain as the “Songbird”? And how did he gain 30 pounds when he came out while all the others lost pounds?
How dare you criticize when you've never run for President?
Come to think of it, how dare I criticize you for commenting on someone who has never served, when I myself have never commented on someone who has never served?
“How did you weasel out of military service?”
His draft lotto number was 356. He never got called. Trump also received student deferments to go to college as did many thousands of other young men.
Which Republican Candidates in 2016 did serve in Vietnam?
Of course Hillary did not. Along with the current POTUS. We know W was in the Texas Air National Guard.... Dick Cheney did not serve....
Anyhow...
According to McCain’s, the biggest ISIS supporter in congress, fellow P.O.W.s at the Hanoi Hilton. McCain, who the commies called “The Prince”, was singing like a Canary to them.
Remember McCain in the 1990s fought against opening up our secret P.O.W.s information we had in Vietnam. This is because McCain made 32 films, this is not even debated, that trashed the United States when he was P.O.W. McCain did not want that getting out.
It turns out the North Vietnam only gave us back over 300 P.O.W.s of 1,205. This information was found out in 1993 in a KGB vault that was declassified. McCain did not want that information open up to the public because it would expose him as caving to the other side. In the meanwhile he left good military Americans to be tortured and worked to death by Commies.
Don’t believe me? Look at the video Jim Robins posted in the last 48 hours about McCain. It’s exactly as I wrote above.
McCain is freaking Traitor! Trump is right on McCain!
If you think serving in military gives you some kind of impenetrable armor to shield you from treasonous acts, you are a sad case. McCain has never admitted what intelligence he gave to the Cong. And his actions in senate have been close to treason. Take a good look at pictures of him with his cohorts, the Muslim brotherhood gang.
