Trump: I Am ‘The Most Militaristic Man In The Room,’ Dodged Military Service

http://www.addictinginfo.org/2015/07/13/trump-i-am-the-most-militaristic-man-in-the-room-dodged-military-service/

Donald Trump is an idiot. We all know that. He’s a hypocrite. We all know that. But I am a little surprised he calls himself “the most militaristic man in the room.” I thought that was Lindsey Graham.

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 America’s 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.

So, he could've been called into combat like in that Civil War movie with all the cadets in grey defendin' the Ol' Homeland and all from John Wayne, William Holden and the Yankee Horse Soldiers.

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

In our Country... one class of men makes war and leaves another to fight it out.

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.

That sounds like a threat from the bully on the playground in 3rd grade. Rump is so out of his element.
