Hey! Gen. Kelly!

Your boss just disrespected a Marine Corps veteran when he disparaged Sen. Blumenthal.

Are you going to let a draft dodging, chicken hawk coward do that?

I guess Semper Fi doesn't apply to you!

Step down! You insult the veterans and active duty by allowing this to stand!

The republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief would be only too happy to toss our Armed Forces into the Maw of Death in order to gratify his own humongous and overfed ego. So he serves up shitloads of scripted republican platitudes.

But when republican Comrade Casino's real unscripted Inner Self, such as it is, takes over: he is pissing like a madman on our American Veterans & Armed Forces.

Screw the republicans, and their russian money-mob comrades. Support the men and women of the United States Armed Forces.

You can also read about Donald Trump (and his four draft deferments) in the Wikipedia entry about him.

I did not see any reference which is stolen valor. He misspoke.

As an Era vet myself, I am careful not to misrepresent my service. The Sen. enlisted three years before me.

I don't see where he made this mistake more than once or twice.

Now quick dump! Which foot had the bone spurs?

Yeah right!
