    Mission accomplished for the stooge/stooges. Those that reply to their comments are a part of it. Next stage is to try to get everyone else to quit this forum. I suppose in their feeble minds they somehow think this will get a commie democrat elected. I believe this anti-Trump s**t only solidifies every one to vote for Trump. I mean, like who else would a person vote for, brain dead biden?

    I wish this forum was monitored. If so they wouldn't exist.

      We owe a debt to the Canadians. During the Viet Nam War, about 30,000 Canadians came south and joined the US Army. About the same number of deserters and draft dodgers went to Canada.

      They took in our garbage and sent us men in return.

        Turdo has a vocabulary of only 3 words: "Trump's bone spurs" (a legitimate excuse for active service). I wonder if he would like to elaborate on bill clintons and obama's military service.

          Or yours?

          Seriously, you can't believe Trump's dad didn't shop for a doc (renting space in a Trump owned building) for a favor for his boy. Bill went long on college deferments, getting good enough grades that he could go to England, all while "not inhaling", true. Meanwhile W got a plumb spot in the TANG, but his service there is not exactly free of controversy. Al Gore went to Viet Nam, as a reporter, and so not under fire. But not taking summers in Maine, either.

          Obama like me came of service age at a time when it was a volunteer force with no shooting war, at a time when military service was considered a professional choice or job training opportunity. I talked to the recruiters for a bit, but in the end decided I could do alright just heading to school. One recruiter remembered me fondly. This was a time when they would still come to the high school, and I found myself in a debate in front of the recruiters' table with one mom over whether or not the army had any business being in the high school. I said they did, she said they didn't.

I subscribe to the belief that looking is harmless, and anyways, it's funny because it's other guys' wives. As for getting that kind of action as Justin does, I can see it being a curse.

            The Ivanka look...actresses get paid good money to deliver that on cue.
            you missed the joke,

            I was suggesting you were lusting over him,,,,

            recruiters were in my highschool as well,

            no ROTC tho,

            Dad was Army Reserve, both weekend duty and full time civilian,

            I wanted to fly helicopters, and the recruiter suggested I start in as a quartermaster and work my way up,,

            I wasn't that stupid and passed, going to college instead,

            no draft them, but we did have to register with selective service

              I would guess that Jimmy Carter was the first "open borders" dem. He allowed the draft deserters to return from Canada with no penalty.

                One of several reasons why I have no respect for him.
