      Whenever liberals would negatively compare Trump to John McCain because McCain actually went to Vietnam I always wanted to puke a lil. Furthermore McCain wasn’t even drafted, he volunteered to fight in Vietnam which makes him more evil than I can possibly describe. Trump draft dodging was a correct decision.

        The main reason I don’t regret voting for Obama in 08 as my first presidential election was never because I naively loved Obama, it’s because I always fucking hated John McCain

        War criminal piece of shit who dropped napalm on civilians including children before crashing his plane without even being shot down and then lied about being tortured by the Vietnamese

        God I fucking hate John McCain and I hate how much he’d be nutting all over the place about this war he always wanted, I just hope there’s a hell and he’s only being allowed to watch so he can truly suffer when he sees how badly this backfires

        As I understood it, it used to be something of a given that to be a successful politician you had to have done military service. Obviously not a defense of character but I think that’s why so many of them did that

        Same, like it would be one thing if they were only opposed to Trump hypocritically being pro-draft, but they bring it up out of context like it’s a bad thing.

        Fuck the draft, way to add insult to injury with war.
