    They have turned into pathetic lap dogs for the scumbag. They are taking the far left's adoration for Obama and multiplying it by a million. No integrity at all.

    It's always great to see someone call out Trump for the pathetic coward he is.

    Globalsecurity.org is probably the best source but you might run into a paywall if you use it to much.

    The last adult (as you call him) apparently was against downsizing the military industrial complex. So like a previous post said, you libs were against war until you were for it.

    Let's support our troops by not sending them to fight endless, no win, pointless wars

    I like that he avoids senseless conflicts. Too bad he doesn't live up to your liberal tough guy standards.

    You need to understand the difference between real conservatives and neocons.

    So you think avoiding the Vietnam war was an act of dishonor? If so, maybe you can describe the heroic service you have performed.

    We probably won't fight a war there, but we should not be providing them (a morally repugnant country) with free protection IMHO.

    They are just a couple fighter squadrons and air defense units. They are not line troops. They will not see any fighting except maybe dropping bombs.

    I think faking an injury to avoid military service is an act of dishonor.

    What difference does it make? Particularly since you people (libs) are bringing up Trump's not serving in Vietnam.

    Maybe you could tell us about Bernie's military service? Maybe you can explain why Joe Biden's 1-Y deferment is different that Trump's 1-Y deferment?

    Yep. Better read up on Biden before saying more about Trump. Biden was an athlete until it came time to be drafted. Then somehow he developed a history of teenage asthma.

    And it only took one of them that allowed North Vietnam to invade South Vietnam.

    In early 1975 the NVA made a thrust into South Vietnam and blew up munitions and fuel depots and ran back to Laos and Cambodia to wait and see what America's response would be.

    Not seeing any B-52's bombing North Vietnam the final battle of the Vietnam War was executed, the invasion of South Vietnam.

    Consider the difference between a W Bush and a Ron or Rand Paul.

    Then Joe Biden is a dishonorable man.
