I have zero issue with anyone who avoided the draft for an illegal war based on government lies.
Not even Clinton or Biden.
Maybe look up the Gulf of Tonkin incident.

But you're okay with the ticket running The Fortunate Son calling that out?
On that same note, I can't believe Trump's FIVE Rich Daddy deferments AREN'T a bigger deal for vets.
What about calling it all a wash? They cancel each-other out?

I'm with you on not harping on his service, not a valiant move to retire early so skip a deployment, but I have several deployments I'd have rather skipped, given the options. But the rank thing can be solved rather quickly. One thing the military is good at, is paperwork. Just his DD214 should show his rank at retirement. Bring receipts and shut down the talk, if he doesn't, then there may be more to the story.

Trump had college deferments 4 years + 1 year medical. The medical has never been proven fake has it?
Trump could have easily gone to post grad college too, so the med deferment must be real.
Millions of Men in the 60s had college deferments and family (kids, married) deferments.

The rank one is ambiguous, that's why I'm staying away from that.
Falsely passing himself off as a combat veteran is unambiguous. He has no honor. His character is garbage.

Walz just lost the military/veteran vote for the Harris ticket.
Rightfully so.

as a non-combat veteran, I totally agree.

I'm also a non-combat veteran. I would NEVER even remotely insinuate that I served in combat. If me being a veteran comes up in conversation, I'm often quick to point out that I never did. There are plenty of instances of me doing it here on this very forum.
To some civilians, especially leftists who hate the military, they may not see the problem. It's an enormous problem to veterans. Although there are some who are such sycophants for the Dems that they'll carry water for him anyway.
