Knock me over with a feather: another cowardly Chickenhawk exposed as a draft dodger:
John Bolton, Trump’s New War Consigliere, Dodged The ‘Already Lost’ Vietnam War
Adam Weinstein
“I confess I had no desire to die in a Southeast Asian rice paddy… I considered the war in Vietnam already lost.” John Bolton 1995
Bolton said nuts to that, later writing in a memoir that he “wasn’t going to waste time on a futile struggle” in Vietnam. (The memoir’s title, by the way, is Surrender Is Not An Option.)
No they aren't, unlike you they served their country, you're a parasite, a leech, on the bosom of the true American that have provided it to you (and BEP). [Reply]
Former National Security Adviser John Bolton, a prominent NeoCon who became a harsh critic of President Trump after leaving his administration, has called on the GOP to purge the “taint” of Trumpism from the party.

That's one thing I think people fail to recognize, partly because it's comforting to not think about, and partly because they work so hard to hide it, but it seems increasingly clear that a lot of the 'conservative never-Trumper' agita about his temperament isn't about his lack of sensitivity in the PC arena.

People on the street think these guys are mad because he called Haiti a shithole country, but they're actually mad because he said 'hey folks, tried to get out of Syria, but they told me it's not possible, so I guess we'll stay there dying to guard our oil profits.' [Reply]
This is true^. But recall, he didn’t actually remove any troops from the Israel region (oops! I mean Middle East). And Congress even forbade it in the very last spending bill he signed.
