a soldier in the news releases. George W. Bush protected Texas from the Viet Cong. It worked. George H. W. Bush was a pilot in WWII. Eisenhower...he did something . No doubt about it, the Trump boys and girls need to enlist.

(10,152 posts)the other one was killed in WWI so he had an excuse. FDR's sons also fought. Lincoln's adult son joined the Union army.
I'm a pacifist as a rule, but if you're going to start a war you or your family should have some flesh in the game. If Trump's offspring were to start an anti-war movement I'd be fine with that, but I do not like their "let's you and him fight" attitude

(63,221 posts)My brother just retired from the Airforce as an officer in October after serving for 28 years. He had many tours of duty and I know the dread of having a loved one sent into battle never knowing when you are going to see them again. It made me feel sick everytime he went, so my heart goes out to you. Especially since I think this is so unnecessary this time. It is so unfair. I wish all the best for you and your son. I know how it feels.

(14,961 posts)had me feeling a little better, about the fact he would be in Qatar and fairly safe, until Thursday.😳
When he enlisted, Trump had only been POTUS for about a year, but I was very against it, because he is unpredictable and I am fully aware Putin is pulling all of the strings. After the Syria debacle and him sending the 3000 troops to Saudi Arabia (because they are paying) and now this, it has been like watching a slow motion car accident.😳
I almost wish, I wasn't paying so much attention to the Trump admin. and could be blissfully unaware, like millions of other Americans.

(63,221 posts)I know the horrible feeling you have but I hope he will be safe and I am sure he will be. Please take care of yourself and try not to worry. I know it is easier said than done, but don't let this tear you apart. Your son is in the safest place he could be in the ME. I am just hoping that things don't escalate and our troops are not put in harms way. Someone needs to reign this bastard in before he destroys everything.

(63,221 posts)Do you actually think they would have the courage to brave the battlefield? The Trumps are the most cowardly family to have ever darkened this nation. Not one of them has dared to serve.
