John McCain flew 23 bombing missions over Vietnam.

so what? he didnt go.
the argument back then was "if you didn't go -someone else has to take your place"

Of course if NOBODY WENT...but i digress

This is true.

Or Obama, or Bill Clinton... This whole Trump didn't serve... nonsense needs to stop. It's the pot calling the kettle black. No Democrat President since Carter served in the military and Bill Clinton is the only true draft dodger among them.

Nope
Dubya went AWOL for months.

 

[Jarod]

Both Bush's served honorably.



Why? Biden never served. Biden pays lip service to the military. Given the current political agenda of the DNC, I'd say the military is going to see major cuts in funding and a serious decline in readiness to pay for more welfare and food stamps.

W weaseled his way into the national guard then went AWOL.

This is true.

OR YOU COULD ACTIVELY OPPOSE THE WAR AND TRIED TO END IT

He hit an electrical line with one.

Yeah, had a problem managing his emotions.
A common problem but not the best trait when entrusted with a very expensive aircraft.

True, that’s what I did with Desert Storm. Got attacked for being unamerican by many Republicans.

The Atlantic story explains a lot about why Trump did not call Putin out for paying bounties on the heads of US soldiers.

The bolded is ridiculous. Democrats always saluted McCain's service, and the "left" criticized his policies, but never the fact that he served....

5 times than all of a sudden he has asthma, but he could be a lifeguard and played varsity football

trump had five deferments for "bone spurs" that mysteriously disappeared. I guess he didn't know that surgery is the only thing that'll make them go away.

That was stupid even by your low standards. McCain voted with Trump almost all the time. Trump demands 100 percent.

thanks for admitting you were not alive during the Vietnam war and have never read anything about it......

lol......you apparently weren't alive between 2016 and 2019.....

You have been brain dead for all of it. Nobody hated the pilots for the bombings and raids. They hated the politicians who sent them. The idea was "what if they threw a war and nobody came". The pilots across the globe on missions were not even in our thoughts.

That's a lie. Repeating it on the CBS nightly news cost Dan Rather his job.

I'll agree he weaseled his way into the Texas ANG but he didn't go AWOL. The later has been thoroughly disproven.

False

Well. Where is your information to support that?

First support your claim... you are asking me to prove a negative.

What? You are the one that made it "attorney". Now back up your bullshit.
