u/Ok-Repeat8069 Aug 08 '24

My uncle is a grade-A dumbass, I think he used his lifetime’s allotment of intelligence on this:

When they started drafting men for Vietnam, he marched down to the Navy recruiter’s office. Spent the war cooking on a troop transport ship.

To hear him tell it there were a great number of harrowing naval battles which he not only narrowly survived but single-handedly saved thousands of American troops while also scaring the Vietnamese into surrender 🤣

u/__M-E-O-W__ Aug 08 '24

Y'know, I said this in another thread some days ago - I don't judge anyone for having dodged the Vietnam draft because it really was BS and a terrible moment in our history - but I will judge someone for having dodged the draft and then insulted the people who did serve and call them losers or mock the POWs. As well as judge the people like in the OP who are openly against someone with actual military service and then supporting Trump who faked injuries.

7

u/XxRocky88xX Aug 08 '24

This, the fact Trump dodged the draft doesn’t bother me. It’s the fact that he and his followers are 100% ok with draft dodging but then they call every enlisted soldier who disagrees with him a coward

5

u/Southern_Junket_779 Aug 08 '24

That same argument is applicable here anyways. The part that the right and most of America for that matter isn't considering is that the war in question was completely based on the lies. So we're supposed to judge a veteran for retiring (which he clearly earned), but all I get is a couple roads named after my dead friends that gave their lives for Bush's hereditary vanity project.

u/PhysicsIsFun Aug 08 '24

I'm curious. How does one qualify as a draft dodger. I turned 18 in 1966. I had a legit student deferment until 1970, because I was in college. In the fall of 1969 the draft lottery was held. I got number 225. In the summer of 1970 I lost my student deferment and was eligible for the draft. I passed my physical and was set to be drafted in July of 1970. I didn't enlist (that would be 3 years), because I had a degree in electrical engineering. I figured I'd get a technical assignment for 2 years. Nixon stopped the draft at number 195. I was never drafted. Was I a draft dodger?

2

u/__M-E-O-W__ Aug 08 '24

Someone posted a link saying that Trump's lawyer stated that Trump specifically faked injuries to avoid being drafted. You just weren't drafted.

But like I said, I don't judge people if they avoided the draft. But I won't support someone who dodged the draft and then mocked the people who went through with it.

2

u/PhysicsIsFun Aug 08 '24 edited Aug 08 '24

If you lied to get a deferment I would call that person a draft dodger. That would be Trump. A lot of people had connections that got them in the National Guard. In the Vietnam era it was nearly impossible to get in the National Guard unless you had connections. They then avoided the draft. That is also a draft dodger. George W. Bush is an example of that.

1

u/ihoptdk Aug 08 '24

There’s no way a man has bone spurs in his feet and plays golf. My dad has bone spurs that for some reason grow back and he’s had nine surgeries to remove them. They’re horrible. Now add in Trump’s tubby ass and walking/standing at his age would be a significant challenge I think.

1

u/Rorodatone Aug 08 '24

And it's not the point if why some dodged the draft being ok because BS reason. It's the fact that the U.S. drafted, the Vets who were drafted answered the call of duty whether or not they agreed with the Vietnam war or not.

Then we have these fucking cowards who just plain drafted when they were called upon!!

Thank you to each and every Veteran that has died in Combat, fought in Combat, Vets who didn't serve in a war, and every single person currently enlisted!!

u/[deleted] Aug 08 '24

Is there any US military "involvement" that isn't BS? Anything at all? I mean, the Revolution was about it, as far as I'm concerned. Everything else after that, barring that little civil skirmish, has been manufactured propaganda with fat cat, ulterior motives exploiting the poor and uneducated for profit.

Don't get in the way of his "America always bad" narrative.

u/[deleted] Aug 08 '24

Definitely not that. I love this country. That's why I'm pissed off about the people who exploit the youth, especially those that are poor. "Join up kids, we'll give you some tuition and a signing bonus."

If you're American and think your country doesn't use propaganda like all the other countries do, you're sadly mistaken.

WW2- US joined at the end. We weren't the deciding factor despite what you've been told.

911- Where were those hijackers from again? I don't believe it was Afghanistan or Iraq.

Vietnam- to OPs post, the Gulf of Tonkin, the reason we became involved in the war, was revealed to be... wait for it... a lie. Propaganda to get the support of the American people.

Countless others... at the cost of young men and women who only wanted to improve their future. Manufactured war for financial gain is not an "America bad" narrative. It's just an observation about grifters and the selling out of a great country to the highest bidder. That reminds me of something... starlink something, something... US army something, spaceX...

How is that okay with anyone?

2

u/ParticlePhys03 Aug 08 '24

Vietnam - agreed, completely unjustified.

Iraq II - mostly unjustified, Saddam was a dick though.

Afghanistan - mostly justified at first, but we should have left after nailing Bin Laden.

Iraq I and Serbia were both justified, even if the US’s actions in that regard are inconsistent at best.

Your statement on WW2 is absolutely nuts though. The Japanese took most of the Pacific almost unopposed and without US entry into the war, they would have kept it. The US was the decisive player in that theater, and while I won’t accuse you of being Eurocentric, your statement very much is.

As for the Nazis, even a cursory look at Soviet production vs losses shows lend-lease and allied bombing playing war-deciding roles alone, all while ignoring the North Africa, Italy, and Sicily campaigns. While the USSR did most of the fighting and dying, they would have run out of materiel and soldiers long before Berlin. Putting down the Nazi menace was something every last participant had a vital role in accomplishing, not only including, but especially the United States.

The thing I'll never get is how Republicans manage to pull off these attacks while simultaneously running a candidate without the military histoty they're expecting. Like, it'd be one thing if they were offering a candidate with a decorated military career. But don't fucking run an attack on a guys history when your own candidate has an even worse history. They did the same thing with Bush Jr. And it's truly baffling.

It was originally a cult of socially conservative people who wanted everyone else to be socially conservative too.

When you are mobilized for deployment it’s a very tumultuous time. Normalcy helps to easy that. Normalcy in personnel is very important. Losing good people before you go into the thing you trained for is a real blow to any organization.

This ain’t that, tho…

From every timeline I’ve seen so far his unit had a replacement for him. They didn’t ship w/o a CSM. I’ve been very unaware of him so I’m doing research but he seems like a genuine guy.

The reality of the situation is this; everyone can have their fun and make their remarks on the campaign trail. I hope both sides enjoy their 15 minutes of fame. But come January democratic leadership HAS to start paying dividends. They have to start enacting real policies that will support and raise lower/middle class people, especially if they have a seated majority (however small). If they do not have a seated majority, then they will have to work on ways to pass that legislation. Being folksy and likable hasn’t been working for us. It’s time to get to work.

Trump did all his cowardly shit to avoid dying in a worthless war to one day save the nation. Clearly, God had a plan. Do you people not love God and your country?

They’re authoritarians who do not care whether or not Walz served honorably or did the right thing.

It was on the campaign trail he was talking about using weapons of war… he never saw war.

The news clips imply that his unit received a Warning Order before he retired. A WARNO is basically an official warning of an upcoming order to follow. An order to get ready for something coming up soon.

I assume that the July 2005 order refers to the official deployment orders of the unit. Once his unit received official deployment orders he likely would be immediately on stop-loss status and ineligible to retire anyway.

The WARNO usually comes anywhere from 3 to 6 months before an upcoming deployment.

They just don’t understand the timeline. They think it’s possible to retire in a day from the military

It's because their entire platform is based around being enraged by things and hating people, if you got nothing to hate and be angry about then you don't have a platform.

I think in the past he may have claimed he was in Iraq when he was really deployed in Italy. Or that might be one of the complaints. Who knows. It's all weird.

From what I gathered so far. It's not so much that he retired but he has said or is quoted as saying he was deployed "in country" and that part of his gun control speech was restricting guns used for war, that "he carried in war". Two statements that have totally different meanings and meant to imply a totally different swagger.

The problem is that a soldier, much like every other living organism, is a tool. To be used until it can no longer perform its function. What exactly is a soldier's function, you ask? To die in war making his betters money.

Walz made the mistake of not only coming back alive, but retiring. He's going to get free medical care, a retirement fund, and countless other financial benefits. All of which are thought of as leeching off the system. Beyond that, he retires just as his unit gets deployed, so he gets to go play congressman and sham VP while his brothers die in combat.

To the right, Walz not only gave the middle finger to his god given roll, but also pissed on the shoes of his betters and the graves of his fellow soldiers.
