I draw the line right there.  He did a lot more for this country than many of those calling his service "garbage".  Did I agree with his politics?  Not really for the most part.  However, he did serve honorably and should be remembered for that.

Like "Captain Bone Spurs" who was so much of a coward, that he got his dad to buy him a doctor's note to keep him out of Viet Nam? Isn't that the pot calling the kettle black? At least one actually had the guts and intestinal fortitude to actually go to war. You can't say that for our spoiled, rich boy, coward, president.

Let's see.  Past President's that served since 1980 (we'll keep it to "recent" history).

Jimmy Carter - Served in the U.S. Navy
Ronald Reagan - Served in the U.S. Army
George H.W. Bush - Served in the U.S. Navy
Bill Clinton - Didn't serve in the military
George W. Bush - Served in the Air National Guard
Barrack Obama - Didn't serve in the military
Donald Trump - Didn't serve in the military

So what's the point?  1 out of three democrats served while 3 conservatives served and 1 Republican didn't.

What many people fail to realize and understand is that Donald Trump is closer to Bill Clinton than Ronald Reagan.
