I always find it so funny how lefties respect of the military only applies when it's a guy they like. I remember way back during the bone spurs arc (I was intentionally apolitical at the time because I was so sick of hearing about orange man) a friend of mine who's lefty and Anti-Trump was filling me in against my will and starts ragging on Trump for dodging the draft.
I go, "uh I mean kinda based, I wouldn't want to go to Vietnam either"
He starts telling that actually it's cringe because Trump once said he'd run in a school during a shooting to save kids, but heh that old orange man has bone spurs right?
And I'm like "well stopping a school shooter and going to Vietnam during the war are kinda different things entirely"
I was so confused on what I was supposed to be laughing or annoyed about, the fact he was smart enough to get out of going to a hyper violent warzone or that he got emotional on twitter and said he'd save the day after a shooting. My friend then started saying how he'd have definitely just gone to war no questions asked unlike Drumpf. I remember being so baffled lmao. Here was my big, long time, anti war friend now telling me that he would join one of most brutal American wars without any objections just to say he was better than Orange Man.
