    Cadet Bonespurs. He’s never held a real rank. He’s a draft dodger.

      Draft dodging in a conflict where we were the bad guys is the moral decision though.

      I don’t understand why people bring up his stopped clock moments as a gotcha.

        He has never given any indication that he did it for moral reasons. He has consistently described service members as suckers and has expressed confusion about why anyone would be willing to serve. Have you ever seen any indication that Trump was opposed to the war in general or is a pacifist or skipped out for any reason other than it is unpleasant and dangerous? Granted, I don’t know that Bill Clinton was super anti-war either, but I guess it bothers me less when the draft dodgers don’t openly mock service members and POWs.

          Yes, hence why I referred to it as a stopped-clock moment, as in “a stopped clock is right twice a day”.

          I am not accusing Donald Trump of having any moral integrity.

          Nah, John “I hate the [slur for asians], I will hate them as long as I live.” Mccaine was a ghoul who is rotting in hell, everyone should be mocking him.

          On one hand, getting shot down stopped him from murdering more Vietnamese people, on the other hand, if Jane Fonda hadn’t shot him down, he’d have probably kept crashing planes.

        People are hoping, almost unconsciously, that hypocrisy still matters
