Another post from Tug demonstrating your lack of concern for the truth. You have falsely accused President Trump of being a draft dodger. Perhaps you are unaware that President Trump, had a 100% legitimate medical deferment, very similar to the one your hero Joe Biden had. An example of dodging the draft would have been like The Great Heavyweight Chump Muhammad Ali, the coward who refused to go, or the cowards who ran and hid out in Canada, but like it or hate it a medical deferment is not a crime.

By all means keep spreading your hate, but this post is factually incorrect.

I wish I could say I am sorry a parade 3000 miles away is “wrecking” your 4Th of July but I find it extremely hilarious and I for one will be enjoying watching the parade.

I would say Ali was the hero, Trump the coward with a fake deferment.

“He’s not a war hero,” Trump said at the Family Leadership Summit in Iowa in July of 2015. “He was a war hero because he was captured. I like people who weren’t captured.”

 

It's easy not to be captured when you stay on the other side of the Pacific.

Well that was a truly vile thing to say. No wonder he get's stick for making such a nasty sick remark. That's disgusting.

 

Our leader at the time of the WoT and who sent British soldiers to die in Iraq is reputed never to have once visited the wounded in hospital. He got plenty of stick for that, it helped make him one of the most hated Prime Ministers we've ever had.

President Donald Trump said on Monday that he plans to display battle tanks on Washington's National Mall

For tank display Trump says,

"we have the brand new Sherman tanks and we have the brand new Abrams tanks"

(my bold)

Note-the US military has not used World War II-era M4 Sherman tanks since the 1950s

I wonder if Trump will surprise the public with a flyover of the new B-47?

You are a rare breed, CaptRon: a Trump supporter who is also a stickler for factual correctness. Trump’s every other utterance must drive you nuts!

 

A fake medical deferment is even worse than a dodge—Trump got to stay home to continue his heroic battles against catching STDs from screwing around.

[bristolboy]

Some people are afraid that Trump will turn this normally apolitical event into a political gabfest. Not to worry. Trump knows that certain events are meant to be apolitical. Especially speaking to the troops:

Trump tells US troops 'this is not a political speech' and immediately makes a political statement in speech

• In a speech President Donald Trump gave to US troops and their families in South Korea, the commander-in-chief claimed his remarks was not intended to be political.
• Immediately after making the comment, Trump alleged Democrats did not support adequately funding the military.
• "I will tell you, this is not a political speech, but the Democrats were not going to give it you," Trump said.

https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-political-speech-us-troops-osan-military-2019-7

 

Trump also said in this speech that Democrats were stonewalling and making problems on domestic issues. He also accused them of wanting open borders and also to hell with the military.

Do you know the difference between Trump and a normal man?

 

1.  Trump had money, the normal man not.
2.  Trump has had 2 @rsh-licker doctors attesting that his health wasn't normal .....  eehhm ... that he was sick, concerning the military. And another one who attested, that his physical and psychical conditions would be okay for the P(L)OTUS-job.

Faking an illness to get a medical deferment is hardly an act of honour, though I'm not sure it is a crime to add to his list. Ali was no coward, he objected to killing other coloured people for white men, a POV I can quite understand.

Are. You are some kind of medical expert? You an authority and have proof it was a faked injury? If not the original comment stands, not a draft dodger.

And the closest The heavyweight chump would have gotten to any action is a USO show.

I don't recall Trump do anything exceptional for veterans, or past Presidents neglecting veterans.  I and my brother are veterans, I think we'd notice.

 

Trump turning the historically non-partisan 4th of July celebrations in Washington into a campaign rally will not make anything great again.

Pretty hilarious you call someone an Incompetent Buffon.

you have absolutely no proof or any idea  of how most Americans want to 4th, truth of the matter is it should not interfere in your day at all.

What does my comment about the cowards who ran and hid out in Canada, have to do with the Canada’s war record? Try reading the post, maybe you will be able to figure it out. Lol, but by all means keep calling President Trump and incompetent buffoon.

Enjoy the 4th of July parade, I know I will!

And for his principles he chose risking prison rather than performing in a USO show. Thanks for pointing out that Ali had little to gain by his opposition and so much to lose. Yet because of his principles he went ahead with it anyway. A very brave man indeed.

I am not at all confused about him being a coward, he refused to be inducted into the military during a time of war “Coward” and of course Draft Dodger.

Once again, you said he faced no risk. Or at least no more risk than a USO show could provide. So how could he be a coward? And as for being a draft dodger, the Supreme Court disagreed.

Here's a link to an interesting story about the podiatrist who diagnosed Trump's bone spurs and got a sweetheart rental deal from Trump's father. :

And I'm sure it wasn't anything to do with the exemption. Fred Trump was well known to be a sweet guy and the soul of generosity

Trump's deferment:

 

"As a student at New York Military Academy and in college, he was an active athlete, playing baseball, basketball, golf and football.

Wow, President Trump was a great athlete, and it is amazing how you have managed to include that in your post and of course conveniently neglected to mention Biden’s college role as starting halfback, but of course, when your dead wrong, and have nothing, lie, cheat and deceive.

Biden has often said he only went to school for the partying and football, but poor sickly Joe can’t serve and you accept that.

The sisters both of whom are Democrats, can not provide any supporting evidence to their story (which went nowhere), but when you have nothing lie, cheat and deceive and of course spread every lie you can.
