W looked stupid in it; Trump wouldn't be able to get it on over his fat ass. But he'd certainly need the groinal enhancement part.

Remember, he fought his own Vietnam war trying to stave off V.D. infections when he was whoring around!
Did he award himself a medal for that too?

Whether or not he actually did anything in the military, he at least showed up a couple times in uniform, did some training, and put in some flying time for a couple months, and did potentially risk being sent.

Drumpf's "Military Academie for Troubled Sons of Gentlemen" time served as a teenage bully actually counts less than my step-daughter's friends time in the JROTC in High School.

He was a draft dodger too. Let's not forget that. Showed up for a couple of meetings and then was AWOL. The National Guard during the Vietnam war was different than the National Guard of today. You were supposed to go to one meeting every month for six years. This was required. You didn't get to pick and choose how many times you showed up. Plus you just didn't automatically get into the guard just because you wanted to. There were waiting lists - long ones because so many guys wanted to get out of going to Nam. W.'s daddy pulled some strings for him to even get in.

Let's not rewrite W.'s history just because we've got someone worse in the WH now.
