Donald Trump, who never served in the military, goes after Senate veterans

LMAO, Pres Obama's mother, was a US citizen. This is a closed issue.

LOL, Blumenthal AKA 'Grassy Knoll' due to his penchant for conspiracy theories wasn't even allowed to serve in the Obama administration.

 

Misstatements? It was a case of a blatant lie. He only came clean when he was caught. How could anyone not know or remember he was in Viet Nam? What I find repulsive is Vets dying while waiting for earned VA healthcare and no one being held responsible.

 

Blumenthal recently attacked Trump's dead brother with a hoax video and unproven allegations claiming he was racist.

Having been in the military doesn't mean that you're immune to criticism especially when you're a dick.

 

I don't have a problem with criticism, but how in the hell can someone who had numerous deferments attack the military record of someone who served. Please explain that.

 

But his father was not making him a British subject. Did you even read what I wrote?

 

The guy who served lied about his service and got numerous deferments to stay out of Nam , then claims he served there. I find that worse than Trump simply getting a deferment

 

Which guy would that be?

Which guy would that be?

 

This is just more diverse by the liberal left, the separation of people buy anything they can think of.

 

Il will give you a hint it wasnt Trump who got the deferment from Nam as he didnt severe and didnt need one

How could he forget that ?

 

I was speaking of Sen. McCain.

Uh actually he needed 5 of them.

 

No he is not a British subject

He has the birth certificate. 2nd time, this issue is closed.

 

He is according to British law at the time of his birth. Just as Cruz was a natural born Canadian citizen at the time of his birth

You can keep declaring the case is closed but that does not make it so

 

He is a US citizen, by US law, period. This is a closed issue, 3rd time.

 

I never denied he was a US citizen at birth. But that is not the requirement . Thats what was first proposed by Hamilton but rejected and replaced with Natural Born Citizen. Why replace it if they mean the same thing ?

Its still open

 

2 posts ago from you. He is according to British law at the time of his birth.

It is closed, 4th time

 

He was he had dual citizenship

I believe your loyalty only lies with those who oppose Trump.

I'm a vet, and most solid members of the military are delighted we have Trump and Mattis over clowns like Obama and Ash Carter (who both never served a day).

 

He wasn't born within the UK (reread the blog ), the case is closed, 4th time!!!

 

Who TF said they were?? In this country we respect our veterans, especially if you couldn't serve due to freakishly small hands! If you don't like it, get out. Doesn't mean we have to agree with everything a vet may say of course.

 

I'm certainly not going to defend him but it is disgusting the way trump seems to have no respect whatsoever for those who did serve. IIRC, trump criticized McCain for getting shot down over 'Nam. That tells you all you need to know about the trump.

 

He didnt have to be read the law. Its you who need to reread it

Its still opened

 

Why would someone start a thread pointing out how Connecticut politician R. "Dick": Blumenthal lied about serving in Vietnam?

 

edition : "Donald Trump, who never served in the CIA/FBI, goes after CIA/FBI "....crazy story , unbelievable...

 

On two separate occasions (2008 & 2010) Senator Blumenthal did claim he fought in Vietnam. That's a no no. But liberals do have a problem with telling the truth. Blumenthal gave it some thought and corrected himself probably in fear of being swift boated like John Kerry was swift boated for self inflicted wounds and abandoning his shipmates after only serving 1/2 of his tour of duty "in-country."

John Kerry's "Vietnam Veterans Against the War" (VVAW) who in collusion with the enemy (North Vietnam) aided the enemy and prolonged the war in Vietnam. But when the FBI investigated the VVAW it was discovered that 1/2 of its members who claimed to have served in-country in the RVN never served in-country.

McCain's definition of who's a hero is different from my definition.

John McCain as a POW did exactly what was expected of him, he followed the U.S. Military Code of Conduct that President Eisenhower signed into law. In particular Article #3 of the Code of Conduct.

#3. If I am captured, I will continue to resist by all means available. I will make every effort to escape and aid others to escape. I will accept neither parole nor special favors from the enemy. -> http://seabeemagazine.navylive.dodlive.mil/files/2014/02/Chapter-2.pdf

When McCain was offered early release from captivity he refused it. He followed the Code of Conduct, he did what was expected of him.

Does that make one a hero for doing what is expected of them ?

John Kerry shot a fleeing unarmed VC in the back and someone gave him the Silver Star.

Further up North in I-Corps I zapped four NVA soldiers one night who were charging with fixed bayonets 20 feet from my position. Did I get any freaking medal ? NO. I did exactly what was expected of me.

A hero is someone who goes beyond what is expected of them.

As for Navy SEAL's, they have had more than a few failures but you rarely hear about them. Actually you're not even suppose to hear about their successes. The MSM as usual when there's a Republican in the White House are going to report every time an American in the military is killed. When this Navy SEAL who was KIA the MSM reported it as the first serviceman to be killed while Trump is the CnC.

If this mission were to have happened under the Obama administration with the same results, nobody would have heard about it.
