There are bootloads of Things you can blame Trump for, but dodging the draft for such an unnecessary stupid war is something everyone remotely intelligent person would have done if capable
It’s not only about that he dodged it, but the fact that he now has this stupid parade after dodging (and still not admitting that he was only able to dodge on a falsified doctor’s note that he got because he comes from a rich family). Either you think the military is stupid, then dodging the draft makes sense, but the parade doesn’t or the other way around. He’s just doing both which is hypocritical. Not surprising though
The people I rate highest were those who openly said they weren’t going for moral reasons. Muhammed Ali couldn’t fight for years because he had religious reasons the government refused to acknowledge. Others went to Canada or Sweden.
Next are people like Bill Clinton. Had a valid student deferment and talked about how bad the war was.
Further down are people who used legal means, but were silent.
Lowest are people like Bush Jr. who finagled his way into the National Guard [and bailed on his last year] and Trump who lied about his medical condition. Both of these two were happy to have other people die to defend their right to be a rich kid.
I didn’t realize he had to sit across from empty seats, that’s fucking glorious
Did you completely miss Bernie photoshopped in?
Zoom in for details, its funny (and photoshopped)
I wonder, are the empty seats photoshopped though?
That was my first thought.
Yes.
Even so, he’s known for waving to invisible crowds. Wasn’t there footage of him doing it when leaving court last year before E-Day?
Well now I see it, oh well I’ll leave the comment up to be mocked
No mockery needed, it’s still very valid
Fyi: here’s the unaltered image
Why did you Photoshop a massive asshole in the middle of the pic?
This pic is cropped so you can’t see the empty lawn just passed the people by the fence they couldn’t see over.
Lmao that NYT photo, is this a federal parade or local band night at the city park?
Local cover band even.
Her looks so pathetic standing there saluting while everybody else is seated around him.
Especially since those troops are representing the Vietnam War. You know, the know he dodged the draft for.
Oh was that the moment they played ‘fortunate son’?
He was born on 3rd and thinks he hit a triple.

And the icing on the cake is that while in a cemetery of vets, called them “losers” and “suckers” according to General Kelly.

Yup. Like an overly enthusiastic little boy trying to make his parents happy.
I knew it was too good to be true, but it’s still funny AF.
I’ve seen neater lines from middle school marching bands. What the actual fuck.
Yeah they were just kinda shuffling along.
It was the Army’s way of protesting this shit too.
Who’s he saluting? You didn’t serve donny, now sit down
What presidents post WW2 did serve?
what president post WW2 pretend they did?
Maybe there’s a North Korean general across the street?
Like it or not, he is the commander-in-chief of the armed forces. Literally the highest ranking officer in the military.
I love the Bernie photoshop inclusion, classy.
Bernie was there!?!? See him there? In the front row? He may be hard to spot. He looks grumpy in this totally real and unedited photo.
