    Biden was in college, the universities of Delaware and Syracuse, moron.

    Where was Dotard?

    In Vietnam, HIS Vietnam.

    Trump said his “personal Vietnam” was avoiding sexual transmitted disease, calling himself a “brave soldier”
    Thirty years after Trump avoided the draft he told the Howard Stern show that his own “personal” Vietnam had been his sex life in 1980s New York, and how he was “lucky” not to contract an STI. “I’ve been so lucky in terms of that whole world,” he said. “It is a dangerous world out there. It’s scary, like Vietnam. Sort of like the Vietnam-era. It is my personal Vietnam. I feel like a great and very brave soldier.”

    Your article is misleading. Technically Ranger School is open to everyone but you do have to qualify and that isn't easy.
    no, the article said exactly that. the misleading part is peckerwood Cotton lying about being a Ranger. have some passing 3rd grader read it and then take about 2 weeks trying to 'splain it to ya. Good luck!! Keep us posted!! dumbass....

    everybody should have refused to serve in vietnam. but that being said, some were honest about it, and some did everything they could to avoid serving while saying they believed it was a just war. that is just chickenshit.

    Joe Biden has been telling a fake war story on the campaign trail for years

    A heartbreaking war story former Vice President Joe Biden has told on the campaign trail for years never actually happened, according to a new report in the Washington Post.

    In Biden's version of the story, he traveled to visit US troops in Afghanistan's Kumar province while vice president at the request of a four-star general to honor an act of bravery by a Navy captain who had carried the body of his fallen soldiers out of a gorge while under fire.

    The Post's examination of the true facts found that while Biden did in fact travel to Kumar province, he did so while a US Senator in 2008 and not as vice president.

    The member of the armed forces who carried out the dangerous mission to retrieve his colleague's body was a 20-year old Army specialist named Kyle J. White and not a Navy captain, and also never received a Silver Star at the time. He was later awarded the Medal of Honor several years after the fact, according to the Post.

    Cotton never was an Army Ranger, he only attended the Army’s two-month Ranger School.
    I took several semesters of physics classes. Do I get to call myself a physicist?
