    Donald Trump, who never served in the military, goes after Senate veterans! Yes The Dildo aka The Donald in a foolish attempt to
    to dispute a Democratic Senator Blumenthal over his Supreme Court nominee attacked went Senator Bloomer's misstatements about serving in Vietnam. Bloomers actually served in the Marine as a reservist. The Dildo who now occupies the Oval office who not only failed to serve in Vietnam butt never served in the military at all once again spit on Sen John McCain. He Dildo Trump did so because McCain stated the recent Yemen raid was a failure. McCain later elaborated as to how a raid in North Vietnam in an attempt to rescue POWS failed but McCain said that the men who attempted that raid were indeed brave and heroes.

    I McCain is correct sometimes heroes fail.

    What say you especially fellow Vets do you agree that Trump 's behavior and attacks on us Veterans is the behavior of a Dildo? Any one agree that Trump is right to disparage the service of Veterans ?

    McCain needs to go to pasture. It's how we ended up with 8 years of Obama.

    Amen. Crazy sheriff Joe got the axe, so possibly Arizona is coming to it's senses. Now McCain & sheriff Joe have good intentions, a solid work ethic, and an undeniable sense of duty ... but ... they're zealots ... lunatics really.

    As a veteran I can tell you right now that simply being a veteran does not magically make you above reproach. The very idea is ridiculous.

    Misstatements?

    Blumenthal lied and claimed he was in combat, just as Hillary Clinton lied and claimed she was shot at in Yugoslavia.

    He's no veteran.

    You never heard of the adage that just because you have the right to say something that does not mean that you should say it. Trump of course has the right to spit on Veterans but if he was a decent human being he would not do that. Trump just shoukd stick with agreeing or disagreeing over issues.

    That is not true. Bloomers is a Senator from my state and what he said sounded like or could be misconstrued as him saying that he served in Vietnam with the rest of us. Many of us Veterans in Connecticut criticized him for that. He did NOT claim to have served in combat.

    That doesn't relate to the question you posed and is therefore irrelevant.

    There you go.

    You are wrong! The guys who served or serve in the reserves or the guard are veterans just like the rest of us. He was not a combat veteran but he never claimed that he was.

    That is not the same ad claiming youbserved in combat. There were thise who during the Zvietnam war served overseas in Korea or in Germany with NATO. They can truthfully claim that they served overseas but they cannot claim that they served in combat.

    There are some who served in Vietnam but not in an active combat role in the bush and if the base they served on was not attacked while they served there they cannot say that they served in combat. What they can say us thatvthey served in a "combat zone".

    Yes he did and after he explained himself and offered his apology. I personnaly met him a few times and he addressed my Veterans post after the incident. I spoke with him one on one and he explained what he said was wrong and then he noticed thatvIbwas wearing a Purple Heart pin he offered his personal apology to me. That was after the election so I took it as sincere.

    Ps he has two sons who serve in the military for whatever that is worth

    I as a veteran never claim that I am beyond reproach and I never heard McCain do that. Trump acts as if he is just because he is Trump.

    He not only lied, he lied repeatedly until he was finally caught.

    I accused you of nothing. I asked you a question. Your answer to that question answered your original question.

    I'm going to end this here as you appear to think that the last person who submits a response somehow wins a prize.

    You asked if he had the right. The answer is yes.

    There is no prize.

    NO you are making an inaccurate statement but I will not call it a lie. This is what he said from this url

    http://www.cbsnews.com/news/did-richard-blumenthal-lie-about-serving-in-vietnam/

    "
    He never said that he served in combat what he did say or implied explicitly was that he served in Vietnam and that was not true.

    What we need to do is slap him silly for claiming that he served in Vietnam but we must nit tell lies ourselves and claim that he claimed to have served in combat because he did not say that.

    You want to end it here because you are wrong is accusing me of saying something that I did not say. I said "
    See I asked if Trump is right to disparage the service of Veterans. That means is he doing the right thing I did not ask if he has the right to do it. Trump has the right o say what he wants but that does not mean he is right in saying it.
