Yes, it is insulting; however, many veterans also voted for the twit.

Many who serve aren't heroic, they had no other options in their small, backwards, stupid towns

They don't immediately get smarter and virtuous simply because they were in the military

They were not smart but they knew what fascism was and did not want that for their country.

Trump is old, but he's not "avoided the WWII draft" old. He was a draft dodger in Vietnam.

[–] Smoogs@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

still, we all know he didnt escape it for the right reasons. he is a coward regardless

Huh? I guess you are lost. I know he draft dodged Vietnam. My mother made me watch the death stats every day. I guess it was a carryover from World War II. I was making a point about the far past And people’s thoughts then. Not now.

You were talking about drafted vets from Trump's time were opposing fascism. That's wasn't what Vietnam was about.

Have you seen the hick idiots in the US military?

They're fine with fascism because they're racist cunts
