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.)

Meh. It wasn't winnable at a cost that was going to be remotely palatable to us, or the American people. It was NEVER a war that was worth fighting in any serious way. [Reply]

Ever hear the story about Prick Cheney? The draft board made married husbands without children eligible for the draft in 1965. 9 months and 2 days later, Prick and Lynne had their first child.
Has a bigger human piece of shit ever existed in our lifetime who served in govt? [Reply]

Liz Cheney was born July 28, 1966. 9 months before that would be October 28, 1965.
LBJ rescinded that exemption August 26, 1965. [Reply]
PB, Bolton's above you in the food chain, but prepare you and yours for fighting a war in the sand...
Pro tip: Tell them that a center mass shot is still the way to go; attempts at head shots on the Muzzies often times result in fewer kills because of their level of difficulty.

they almost never haul the freight.
I'm down with making a law that requires military service as a prerequisite for some public offices, if not all public offices. Combat veterans are awarded a 10% bonus to their vote tally for being better even people. Combat injured veterans would be awarded an extra 20% to their tally.
That would keep commoners out of those important roles, and further ensure combat veterans, and especially those who "took a bullet" are recognized for their roles in conflicts. [Reply]
I have always favored tax exemptions for military service, and full tax exemption for anyone who saw live combat action. A citizen - military panel could jointly determine what qualifies and who qualified.
I’d fund it partially by expropriating the personal wealth of Prick ($250m) and The Bushman ($30m).....or giving all their stolen money to Wounded Warriors. [Reply]

They had been married for less than a year at that point, it's really not unheard of for newlyweds to be boofin' [Reply]
