Told you.

By:
that's ok, no one has to answer
sometimes the question is more important than the answer |
|
By:
more enlightening
|
|
By:
you see sometimes answers , like those of that mug mustang fail to satisfy
|
|
By:
questions are usually more beautiful, more significant than their answers,
well so far, lets see |

Bernie Saunders applied for 'conscientious objector status' to dodge it too.
![]() Trump was at a Military Cadet School when he was younger rising up to be Captain. Nearly three-quarters of Americans age 17 to 24 are ineligible for the military due to obesity, other health problems, criminal backgrounds or lack of education, https://www.politico.com/story/2018/02/19/pentagon-buildup-troop-recruiting-shortage-351365 |

Don't knock Trump he's a brave man who very disappointed not to be able to fight in Vietnam. It's not his fault that a doctor diagnosed him with painful bone spurs in his heels that stopped him joining the military. It's a shame he didn't pass his sick note onto his PE teacher as it never stopped him playing basketball in college

Stricter military medical maybe ?

By:
Anyone who went and didn't have to was foolish
|
|
By:
The same applies today, probably moreso
|
|
By:
Well I agree with you to some extent lfc but then bleating how brave you are is poor!
he talks the talk but doesn't walk the walk. |

Wasnt Trump a Democrat Type when all this Avoidance was Going on ?
|
|
By:
what leftists are going to have to understand is that the world has changed
We don't care if Trump didn't serve in Vietnam If they don't have to care about Bill Clinton, or Saunders or Ali not serving we are under no obligation to care about Trump Now is Trump brave? I have no idea, I only know he didn't serve in Vietnam ..just like Clinton and saunders and ali and many others They will have had their own reasons Guess what, they wont be any more praiseworthy than trumps reasons Dont fool yourselves about that |
|
By:
you obviously know nothing about Muhammed Ali lfc!
|
|
By:
I know about Ali yes, everyone has their reasons
I have no idea what they might be, in any event I don't care |

How many of following traits does Trump display?
Has an exaggerated sense of self-importance Has a sense of entitlement and require constant, excessive admiration Expects to be recognised as superior even without achievements that warrant it Exaggerates achievements and talents Is preoccupied with fantasies about success, power, brilliance, beauty or the perfect mate Believes they are superior and can only associate with equally special people Monopolises conversations and belittles or looks down on people they perceive as inferior Expects special favours and unquestioning compliance with their expectations Takes advantage of others to get what they want Has an inability or unwillingness to recognise the needs and feelings of others Is envious of others and believes others envy them Behaves in an arrogant or haughty manner, coming across as conceited, boastful and pretentious Insists on having the best of everything — for instance, the best car or office |

Machiavellian Traits ( possibly copied and pasted ) Northanlite, probably explains why he is a billionaire, married to a supermodel and is leader and the most powerful man of the western world.
|
|
By:
so you do agree he display's these traits at least, all of them
|
|
By:
What kind of bait have you tangling here ?
|
|
By:
That's almost a sentence. |
|
By:
You don't achieve the things he has achieved by being a shrinking violet, obviously he has the alpha male traits to get where he is today and to stay there.
|
|
By:
some people find those traits disturbing although you obviously admire them. Surely they are a sure sign he will
always put his wants before the good of the nation. |
|
By:
So you think America First and MAGA are just made up catchphrases to keep Trumps ego happy.
What he has done in Office so far contradict this so far. Anyway we're going off script, this thread is about 'an unarmed Trump tackling a gunman' |
|
By:
You Trump fantasists (and general thickos) are overlooking the one critical element here.
He masquerades as some sort of latter day general Custer who would take on armed intruders with nothing other than his wig for protection; yet 5 times dodged a draft. Doesn't sound like he would make good his war cry in reality now does it? Ali etc. have never once claimed they would take on armed intruders with a pencil sharpener and stencil set; or that gun totting teachers should be part of the school curriculum! Wiggy Trump is a whirling dervish of hyperbole, cheap soundbites and delusions of grandeur. Let's also not forget he inherited his vast empire from his father and has done some pretty despicable things to stop losing everything on several occasions. |
|
By:
Lfc1971 covered the draft dodge issue earlier on this thread and left some questions for anti-trumpers and lefties that still remain unanswered.
|
|
By:
If you take 'covering' to mean he didn't know why Trump is a world champion 5 time draft dodger then ok.
As to his question 'would we sign up for a war.' What has that to do with Wiggy Trump being a fantasist. Where have we said we would tackle gunmen unarmed like Trump has? As such asking such a stupid question got its deserved no response. |
|
By:
No, I was referring to his questions why Trump dodging is lambasted but Bill Clinton and Bernie Saunders dodging is glossed over ?. (or are not world champion draft dodgers as you call it)
|
|
By:
I think it is obvious Clinton was a draft dodgerbut Sanders is more consistent in his beliefs.
The Commander in Chief who sends men in should not have avoided their duty to serve! He has no authority and then condemns others who do their best to serve and protect even if may not have been good enough. He lost the right to criticise! |
|
By:
Trump supporters using same deflection tactics that the man himself uses, namely blaming someone else for something and intimating that it's far worse than that on which he is being questioned.
https://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/02/us/politics/donald-trump-draft-record.html As can be seen, Trump never had an Army Medical. The condition he supposedly suffered from mysteriously disappeared shortly after the war ended. |
|
By:
Leftists taking the moral high ground here again. Even though I cant think of them electing anyone who served in Vietnam as president.
Now we don't know why Clinton didn't serve, but they voted for him, we don't know why Saunders didn't serve, but they would vote for him, I wouldn't be surprised if they would vote for any draft dodger under the sun and tell themselves they dodged the draft for all the very best of reasons Well I suppose anythings possible, they can even do that and think people on the right should care about Trump not serving in vietnan Well too bad we don't so pipe down about Trump and instead worry about the next liar you are going to vote for, perhaps someone like Corbyn |
|
By:
Trump didn't serve in Vietnam, he was right not to serve in Vietnam
And I would go further, no young person in Britain should volunteer to fight in any war for Britain Especially if British people are prepared to elect someone like Corbyn as pm of this country, we already know enough about that character not to be listening to anything he says let alone following orders from him Now that is the way it is |
|
By:
It is morally indefensible for someone to be a pacifist, as corbyn claims to be, and at the same time seek election as PM of Britain
Those two stances are morally and intellectually unsustainable But that wont stop the liar from standing And that wont stop the leftists from voting for him |
|
By:
I would say his claims about rushing in to the school are covered in traits 1, 5 & 12 of list above.
The rest all absolutely apply to him & his personality too |

By:
We don't want to elect someone nice like Corbyn
