The Trump campaign played a song about rich kids dodging the Vietnam War draft — which the...

My brother, after four years of ROTC, was unable to get his commission because of a bone disease. The local draft board hounded him until some military officials stepped in and told them to stop.

Why? They’re just the ones too poor to hide in the States.

We all had a duty to our Country, makes no difference who you are, where your from, or how rich, or poor you are and for those that decided to hide in another Country just don't cut it with me.

Right or wrong, our nation sounded the call. Many who were raised to respect our country answered the call and many more indoctrinated and programmed by liberal college professors…whom themselves… were indoctrinated and programmed by those before them… resisted that call. It’s not a question of patriotic heroism or cowardice, but a question of inspiration and belief. If one is inspired through faith and upbringing to aspire into a responsible individual, they will support our country when called upon. Other’s who evaded the draft refused to identify and act upon their responsibilities to our country, family, and friends out of selfishness and fear. Heroism is knowing and acting upon one’s fears in doing the right thing. Cowardice, well, each of us have our own definition of both the word and actions of those who fled.

Ummm. And just what evidence is that Specialist Ford? I'm curious to know how you determined that. Wouldn't be because you're uninformed or failed to properly research ammunition critical against "OUR" President and "Commander-in-Chief" is it? I'll wait and check back with you Troop for you to enlighten me.

1SG (Join to see) - Yes they are recommended by a formula, but approved by Congress, in which POTUS has a say. C'mon man, you are not dealing with a political infant. Just to apply the KISS method for you, Military pay raises are included in the budget submitted to Congress by POTUS, they then cut slice and dissect and add or take away according to their ideology.

SSG Robert Perrotto - Who, exactly, do you think originates the budget? The President can suggest a budget, but Congress is free to accept or ignore, in whole or in part. Congress determines the budget, the President just says yea or nay.

SPC Jeff Daley, PhD - Dude, you are speaking to the wrong person here, I am not the one criticizing Trump and his relationship with the Military, reading comprehension mate.

Sergeant Perrotto, one must be erudite to fully understand the myopic maneuvering of political figures of both the Democratic and Republican Parties. President Trump for all purposes represents all Americans regardless of skin color, religious affiliation, or national origin. He has been a working president since day one and continues to lead by example. Since his inauguration forces to be such as Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Adam Schiff, Jerrold Nadler, and the entire Democratic Party has been receiving their marching orders from their savior, and financial benefactor George Soros, who uses his vast wealth and influence, has been meddling in the internal affairs of foreign countries and is using the same tactics to destabilize the United States and Collapse its economy, where he is fully supported by the fake news media. All this according to him because he can. Soros while attending a European ANTIFA conference in September 2014, proclaimed to the world press his primary objective in life is to “Bring down the Unites States by “Funding Black Hate Groups.! He further stated, “We Will put them in a Mental Trap making them Blame the White People.” Well, look around today…we are witnessing ANTIFA and Black Lives Matter groups forcing cities and even states to surrender their sovereignty. And why? To pressure President Trump into resigning as president, holding this nation hostage until America elects Democrats and meets their demands. Soros has been directing Pelosi, his mouth-piece of the Democratic Party, supported by Barack Obama to continually encourage these “Domestic Terrorists” to continue their attacks, even threaten civil war if President Trump is reelected. Remember, Soros plans to collapse the American economy, bring this country one step closer to a one-party political rule, and align us with the New World Order managed by the Global elite. Eye-opening isn’t it? I could go on and on but will spare you further conspiracies.
