Without reading any further add me to the list of folks would like to see your documented proof that he lied. MadCow's and other DNC talking points don't count.

We could use a take off of the old Ali line, “No German ever called me a racist.” According to Texcaster, we would instantly become world heroes.

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.
Mission Accomplished.
Neither did Bill Clinton, or Obama, or Joe Biden, or Bernie Sanders (Bernie Sanders’ draft board was deciding on his claim that he refused to do military service because he was a conscientious objector. He did so to avoid having to serve his country in the Vietnam War.)
So what’s your point?????? At least GWB joined the reserves, which by definition are available for emergency conflicts.

I got spit on too, but i wasn't a coward.
Given the number of LTs fragged, I would say there were more than a few cowards who actually did serve.

It’s your opinion, not really a valid argument.

You compare existential threats to the nation to a S.E. Asia get rich quick scheme for munitions and infrastructure contractors? That explains a lot.
Your ignorance of history and facts is astounding, but like most fascist progressives you don’t let an absence of facts get in the way of your narrative!

Draft dodging is only a big deal to supporters of DJT. You have to laugh, that's very funny.
Dodging Vietnam was the right thing to do. Where I come from if you wanted to get laid, you were anti-war.

Texy,
Try and follow the flow, son!
It’s the trump HATERS who seem preoccupied with draft dodging, not the supporters.
Perhaps you’ve been away so long (IF you ever really were here) that you’re having trouble following English and sentence construction???

I thought that one of the problems with the "squad" was that they just don't think that America is great enough. But if you state "GO DONALD TRUMP-make us great again", doesn't that mean that you don't think that we are already great.
I think the slogan “Make America Great Again” is apropos and does NOT refer to a single time in history but to the different people and attitudes in history that contributed to America’s status as the best place to be in the world.
Examples include the founders risking EVERYTHING to start a revolution and break away from England, industrialists and workers who committed to connecting the country via railroads, individuals who carved a single country out of many pieces via both politics (Loooziana purchase) and war (Alamo), individuals willing to risk it all again to correct historical wrongs (republicans putting an end to slavery AND pushing through the civil rights act), farmers and ranchers moving westward to creating food out of thin air for the world.......I think you get the point.
Those who insist it’s about a single time are nothing more than opportunist racists, and almost exclusively democrats.

Blurry,
Let’s be clear..... it was JFK, not LBJ, that got us into Vietnam as it was JFK who gave the okay for the assassination of Ngo Dinh Diem.
Further, like most wars VN was religious....the French contacted JFK and let him know that they were bailing out and that NVM and the commies would liquidate the Christians in the south.

Yeah, I'm serious, but you're right, we have a difference of opinion, I think President Trump is doing a Good job, bone spurs or not, seems like you could sorta see that.
The fascist progressives can’t see it as they are “all in” on words..... actions and reality don’t mean much to them.
