    Many who serve aren’t heroic, they had no other options in their small, backwards, stupid towns

    They don’t immediately get smarter and virtuous simply because they were in the military

      They were not smart but they knew what fascism was and did not want that for their country.

          Huh? I guess you are lost. I know he draft dodged Vietnam. My mother made me watch the death stats every day. I guess it was a carryover from World War II. I was making a point about the far past And people’s thoughts then. Not now.

            You were talking about drafted vets from Trump’s time were opposing fascism. That’s wasn’t what Vietnam was about.

      Sometimes they get worse, and commit war crimes ¯_(ツ)_/¯
