Would one of you bone spur supporters please tell me why he is the balls to be this person consumed with patriotism when his country asked him to serve and his response was "I'm not going to Vietnam, I'm not stupid" and developed a severe case of cowardness evidenced by bone spurs? Don't blame Clinton or Obama, this isn't about them.

No, it isn't about them ... its about the hypocrisy of the left.

I googled your quote and ... surprise, surprise, surprise ... this is what it returned:

No results found for "I'm not going to Vietnam, I'm not stupid" quote.

I don't like it that rich kids ducked Viet Nam ... but it obviously only bothers you if they don't bear the golden (D) following their name.

Your troll post fools nobody.

So Donald J. Trump didn't go to Vietnam......we were in Vietnam from 1959-1975, lost 58,000+ Americans (the number climbs when MIA's are identified), in a war they didn't want us to win in exchange for huge profits for companies like RMK-BRJ (the 'J' stood for Johnson as in Lady Bird). I went as many Vietnam Vets did....ask us if we would do it again for a country that SPIT on us when we came back and screws so many Vets out of care and benefits that we THOUGHT we earned !!! GO DONALD TRUMP-make us great again :-)

Were you drafted and then decided to join the Navy to try to avoid combat?

President Trump is your Commander-In-Chief right now whether you like it or not, and he is doing a Great job, bone spurs or not!
I served '66-'68, proud of it, still serving against naysayers like you!

He wasn’t even a minority and certainly not the first son of wealth to not go.

If you really want an honest civil answer, then I suggest you rephrase your question without the hostility.

You might have a point there. George W Bush didn't go either. Joined the reserves and protected Texas from being attacked by Oklahoma.
Mission Accomplished.

I didn't serve either (1Y no ear drum right ear)- but wuod not have served anyway. It was a war started for a false reason, fought the wrong way, and embarrasingly lost, 50+ thousand men died for absolutely nothing and who knows how many lives werre ruined as a result of that mess. It's a staim that can not be erassed from our past. Those who avoided serving should be applauded
