Didn’t that happen a lot for American youth ‘69-‘73?

Ouch! That's gonna leave a mark....

Meanwhile

Trump bleats on about a deal

He is an infantile fool who got lucky selling and building shopping malls

He is out of his depth!

I would have trouble saluting draft dodger Trump if I was a uniformed serviceman marching in his birthday parade. What an arrogant prick. Put thousands of government workers with families on unemployment while squandering millions on a stupid parade purely to inflate his ego.

Are you specifically referring to the thousands of government workers who were incompetent, stealing, or just plain unnecessary for the space they were occupying? I did a quick search of you posts and didn't seem to find anything about your outrage over the tens of thousands of American workers and business owners who lost their jobs and businesses because of the ridiculously unnecessary covid lockdowns perpetuated by the Biden Administration... I also couldn't find anything you posted in outrage regarding the thousands of American workers who lost there jobs when the Biden Administration's energy policies closed down the Keystone pipeline along with thousands of other energy related jobs... How about all of the federal employees, especially those in the military who were forced out because they refused to take an experimental vaccine? Any crocodile tears for them?? You are certainly free to enjoy your TDS, but spare us the hypocrisy...

By your response, I will assume that you didn't watch the parade or listen to Trump's speech, because if you had, you would have seen that it wasn't about him at all... It was 100% tribute to the Army and the U.S. military in general...

Someone there actually had one?

I am all for the healthy Army Navy rivalry. And love the good natured barbs against my good US Army friends.

If you were not moved by the display presented during the 250 year parade. Then I have no words. The guys and gals got to show off their pride in what they do.

I really enjoyed the period uniforms from the 1700s, 1800s and early 1900s.

I’m all for saving money and I don’t know what the army spends in recruiting a year but any young person that watched that whole parade most likely now wants to be a part of that organization.

Heck, I’m ready to go to an army recruiter tomorrow. I want a hat and Fife.

It will be interesting to see if the Baluchi and Kurdish regions, primarily Sunni, make an attempt to break away from Iran if they feel the opportunity arises.

No, you would not.
Had you been selected and honored to participate in the celebration, and your CO ordered...
"As you pass the Review Stand you will salute the Commander- in- Chief"...,that is EXACTLY what you would have done...if you were smart.

What I think is interesting is… when Europe largely disagrees with or dislikes a US President is when the US tends to prosper most…

When Europe largely agrees with or likes a US President, typically our country’s economy and its morality is in decline…

While I’m not a huge Trump fan myself.. it always gives me great confidence in the US’s future when liberal Europeans go out of their way to make sure we know how much they dislike our leadership..

Clinton used up his college deferment as a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford. His daddy didn't buy his ticket. He did it with his brains. When he returned to Arkansas to start law school he was offered a ROTC commission and initially accepted but then turned it down. Didn't like the stigma and decided instead to take his chances with the draft like all the other guys. He got lucky in the lottery as did Obama. According to Trump's sister, he had a heck of a time finding a college that would accept him so he could get a deferment. Finally daddy bought him into a school that offered a program in real estate management (there is such a degree??). He supposedly obtained a BA degree but has never provided proof that he ever passed a course. In fact, Trump has threatened to sue the university if they ever release his transcripts. Why would a guy who brags about his IQ of 167 not want anyone to see his sparkling scholastic records? Hmmm. While dad wrote the tuition cheques he hid out in college for four years. Then when available for the draft, one of daddy's podiatrist renters wrote a letter to the draft board claiming Trump had bone spurs ... even though he had been a member of his high school military academy basketball team. Trump has never provided proof of bone spurs or surgery to correct it. But he says he has proof. Prior to the temporary medical deferment expiring he got a good roll of the dice in the lottery. Then the bone spurs magically disappeared. Poof!

He supposedly has a university degree but didn't know he can't run for a third term. Any kid who graduated from the high schools I taught would know that ... or they wouldn't graduate! He doesn't have a clue how states are created. Guess he skipped HS US history too. He also thinks it's safe to drink disinfectant. Most 4th graders know skull and crossbones = poison. I'm okay with him being bonehead stupid and uneducated, but I did my time in the US Army when it was my turn. When that coward wraps himself in the flag, that's stepping over the line for me. At least weekend warrior George W knew how to keep his head down. No birthday parades for him.

Once again Im amazed that a guy that claims he has a terminal degree spouts off completely unsubstantiated drivel as fact without doing so much as the slightest bit of research to confirm or deny his beliefs/findings..

Obama didn't get lucky in the draft.. he wasn't subject to the draft.. he was born in 1961.. The draft ended in 1973.. Obama was 12.. it would be 6 more years before he'd even be required to register for a draft that was no longer occurring..

Trump never obtained or even attempted to obtain a BA degree.. He also never attempted to obtain a degree in Real Estate Management.. He earned a BS in Economics from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. While his grades have not been made public, numerous professors and students have indeed confirmed that he not only attended, but that he graduated...

For what its worth, MANY of the top business schools in the country however (to include Wharton, arguably the best business school on the planet) offer degrees in Real Estate Management... if you haven't paid any attention, there are quite a few billionaires out there that earned their fortunes in commercial real estate.. so yeah.. if Harvard offers a bachelors in Womens Sexuality and Gender Studies.. its a pretty safe bet that there are reputable schools out there offering degrees in a field like Real Estate that actually bring value to the student..

You know who else didn't release his transcripts for almost 20 years? Joe Biden.. Biden claimed to have graduated in the "top of his law class" but refused to release his transcripts when questioned about this.. the reality is he graduated 76th out of 85 students and tried like hell to hide that lie until plagiarism claims became serious enough that they were going to tank his 1988 POTUS run, so he finally released them, revealing one lie (top of my class!) in order to debunk another..

Clinton also never released his transcripts.. Its a given that he was a very good student.. He is a confirmed Rhodes Scholar and received a scholarship to study at Oxford before attending law school at Yale.. but he, like a number of Presidents before him never unsealed his university records.. This isn't something remotely unique to Trump..

The Trump sister claim has been debunked numerous times.. the claim comes from a secretly recorded telephone call where she claimed to her daughter that he didn't have the SAT scores to get into good schools (the issue was not that he couldn't get into school.. she claimed he couldn't get into choice schools).. That call was recorded in 2018 by Mary Trump (Trumps niece), a member of the family that has been well documented and well known to hate Donald Trump since her childhood.. she is also a very well known far left winged member of the Democrat party that has been in an open fued with most of the rest of the members of the Trump family for decades (she was involved in yet another lawsuit with them as recently as 2020).. She campaigned for Hillary Clinton in 2016.. Shes a lesbian, and has also made very negative statements about several other members of the Trump family to include her grandmother who didn't approve of anything LBTGQ and once referred to Elton John as a "faggot" (big surprise a woman raised 100+ years ago would use the word "faggot").. So.. is anyone surprised by Mary Trumps action? and has anyone brought forth any evidence to support her claims? The answer to both questions is an obvious no...

Trump had a nice little fifty minute birthday chat with comrade Putin. OMG. The emperor has no clothes.

Scott... stuff like this is why - knowing full well the MAGA faithful on this site will give me thumbs down emojis for posting it - memes like this feel like they have a measure of validity. Go ahead Mr. President: proof me wrong. Start treating Putin like the sadistic thug he is instead of some drunken homoerotic-experiment frat buddy from college.

If you have followed any of this guy's posts, he is the site's greatest authority on hunting Africa - in spite of only hunted in South Africa and then with the same outfitter - and a dozen other subjects to include military uniforms. Usually, he has a unique ability to eventually make any thread about himself. I suspect, we have that yet to look forward to see posted.

They haven't touched a fighter. That bit of typical Middle Eastern exaggeration and braggadocio was announced by the Iranians a couple of days ago and several Western stealth and manned fighter critics among defense correspondents and influencers ran with it (one ignorant "expert" titled his YouTube piece "the Day Stealth Died.") They all have gone rather silent on the subject.

Kinda like the 6 day war. All Israels enemies bragged with lies until reality silenced them.
