Like describing himself as a “war hero”. 🙄🤨

I find it interesting that a Vietnam War draft dodger (which a lot of guys did back then) is now describing himself as a “war hero”(which none of those aforementioned guys do). But that’s just another thing a sadistic malignant narcissist sociopath does.

Donald Trump's bone spurs were bc he had a rich daddy and was a coward, a "fortunate son". He truly was a draft "dodger". The majority of those you call dodgers were more likely to be conscientious objectors to an unjust war that the world was, surprise, lied to by the government.

We’ll have to agree to disagree on your assertion, sir.

I was told it wasn’t that hard to get a dr to help you get a deferment back then. But I bet most who did, don’t brag about being a war hero. 🤯

That depended a lot on who your family was, who they knew (connections) and where you lived. It was a mixed bag.

So the mindless babbeling he did at the National Art Mueseum was an example of narsistic mortification? besause it made no sense at all.

A lot of men did dodge the draft but they had scruples and said they would not fight in an immoral war. Trump claimed bone spurs 🙄 Trump once said that avoiding STDs in his dating life in the '80s was his “personal Vietnam." 🙄

I personally don’t give a shit why anyone dodged the fucking Vietnam War draft. ANY reason is good enough for me. They all made the right choice IMO. I lost a number of friends and even a relative there. That war was an abomination and should never have been fought.

The fact that your friends and relative died there, even though the war was an abomination, makes them true war heroes, not someone claiming to be a war hero who never served. That is stolen valor and an abomination in itself.

Thanks for your concern and opinion, but, with all due respect, I don’t need a lecture on what makes someone a hero. All going to Vietnam did for my friends and relative was make them dead. You are correct about the stolen your stolen valor assertion though.

Those of us alive at the time understand the costs. 3 of my brothers were drafted, and the fourth had his number when the draft ended. One of my brothers died as a consequence. All of them have their names on a plaque in our church. The pain of the Vietnam war lives on.

I am so sorry for your loss. 💔 I distinctly remember watching the *lottery* numbers being drawn, drafting young people into Vietnam. It was so nerve-wracking.

Thanks. You have no idea how stressful it was. I was one of those young people on that day. I lucked out. My roommate didn’t.

Indeed it was stressful. We all sat in front of the black and white television, wondering when/if my brother's number would be picked. It wasn't. But that did not make us feel any better, knowing these other poor souls would be forced to upend their lives.

I definitely remember the TV ceremony.

Yes, it does. Sorry for your loss.
