A "war criminal" ? Like someone who faked a disability so he didn't have to go to Viet Nam and then called the people who went "suckers". We thought it was bad when somebody used family influence to get them in the Guard.

they only count you if you agree with them.
Ali was a conscientious objector and paid for his resistance. Big difference compared to a gutless wallowing pig like Trump.

it's spelled "gnu math" because you have to be dumb as an ox to understand it
no argument from me on this. a sad time...
not sure how this happened, but it won't go away...

A lot of us "might have dodged".
1, But we didn't. They stopped the draft when I was a senior in high school.
2, Being a draft dodger should disqualify one from being Commander in Chief.
I was all for amnesty and letting them come back from Canada, but there are limits.
it is a tough call. if you are IN the military, you have the right to NOT follow an order if you think it is illegal. you had better have a pretty solid case to argue once they get you to the courtmartial though.
but you have to be in there to do that, not refuse to join and serve. in a way,that is like refusing to vote and then bitching about the election. there should be some form of service that concientious objectors could perform. they used to (WW2, i think) let them serve as medics, and were not required to be armed. the Germans "usually" respected this and did not fire on them. the Japanese, sadly, did not follow suit.
They?
Prove her wrong by looking up the definition of "deplorable" and make attempts to not fit that definition?
What personal infringement upon your first and second amendment rights could you give us?
He was a conscientious objector.
I don't doubt you could justify anything regardless of duty or honor.
Trump has fans for a reason.
No he was not a draft dodger.
Muhammad Ali: the world's 'greatest' conscientious objector
At Muhammad Ali’s funeral last week, one of the most moving tributes was delivered by the comedian and actor Billy Crystal. There were moments of levity, of course. “He was beautiful. He was the most perfect athlete you ever saw,” Crystal regaled the gathered mourners, “and those were his own...

Someone must have been old before their time.
LOL
And I was in boot camp with a frown.
It is a tough call.I don't know how people can respect a dodger who insults service people and wouldn't do what he asks them to. Plenty do favor him after that and wanting to push the constitution aside.
It was getting close for me. I probably would have gone, but I had serious thoughts about Canada.
A draft number 5 and I dropped out of FSU prompted me to volunteer in the Navy rather than take a chance on the Army. I had same serious thoughts you mentioned.
Did you still end up doing 4 years and go over there?
No, I said with a smile.
Dear Team America.. whether it's Biden or Trump or whoever, you need to clean up your act. You do realise they give you only two parties to vote for, right? That says it all. Europe and the EU have many flaws too, but what you guys are currently delivering is beyond my comprehension. We are all now living in a globalised world and everyone depends on everyone else globally to keep the level of "lifestyle" we're currently enjoying. No one can do anything on their own really anymore, keep that in mind and that's all I have to say.

THEY aren't doing a damn thing; seeing that the voters are catching on, all they can do now is try to keep Biden from getting any credit for accomplishing anything either, even if it means killing any chance of THEIR dreams coming true. if voters realize that THEY are getting beat up by the GOP in their flailing pointless attacks on Biden, next November is going to be really ugly. "i know this hurts, but my injuring you is the only way i can try to hurt Biden! sorry..."
Why would Trump hug the flag if he doesn't love the law?
