      I agree with Nicolle here. Big picture is that Vietnam was a shoddy imperialist adventure, sold on lies & ideally no American soldier should been sent there. Trump gamed the system to get out of service, but he didn't create the system. https://t.co/xbk0n48NfS

      If you're going to be mad about Vietnam war, be mad at JFK, LBJ, Nixon, McNamara, Kissinger etc. Some of these people are still around (Kissinger funeral will be a vile whitewash). Trump is a small part of the story.

          Except that Trump would have sought the deferment if we were fighting any war, including a just war. He was right for appallingly wrong reasons.

          Well, yeah. He's a small part of the Vietnam story. Obviously. But it's part of the story of who he is and how his posturing should be understood. Does anyone really think Trump/Vietnam is about Vietnam, not Trump?

          I do.😜 I also really think that Cheney/Vietnam & Dubya/Vietnam is about Vietnam, not Cheney & GWB. What's more, I think that Quayle/Vietnam is about Vietnam, not Quayle. They're all a small part of the Vietnam story. Obviously.😉

          It is/ was Trump's willingness to trash the families and reputations of men and women who served that makes his efforts to escape the draft an issue. He dishonors those who oppose him who have served while acting a tough guy. He's a coward and his whole life proves it.
