http://www.addictinginfo.org/2015/07/13/trump-i-am-the-most-militaristic-man-in-the-room-dodged-military-service/During his trumped up (no pun indented) speeches in Las Vegas and Phoenix, the anti-immigrant billionaire touched on his militaristic nature and how ISIS will be in such trouble, and how he would take them out so fast....
So, there you have it. While Donald Trump goes off on how he is the most macho when it comes to the military, his records show he never once served this nation. A list of deferments, two legitimate ones reversed, kept him from taking part in the Vietnam War.
Another Republican wanting to send Americas men and women overseas to fight their wars when they have never served themselves. This is becoming a trend in the GOP: a bunch of scared, old, white men who sit in their thousand dollar suits while young Americans die or get injured. Looks like Donald Trump is their newest member.

Wonder what the Junior ROTC record would show on Trump? Crap grades and a lot of demerits, going from how he acts now.

I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation. War is hell.
