    Wouldn't he be of an age to have served? He denigrates McCain for being captured. I wonder how he himself would have coped?

    Would have been quicker than starting a thread to ask a question.

    But Google does not answer that question. If you believe everything on Google then you are an idiot.

    From the info I have seen, President Orange had daddy pay a doctor to say he had "bone spurs".

    The fat orange bollox bought his way into and out of ****. Agent Orange (aka Trump Jr) also had his future "paid for"

    So did Muhammad Ali.. Coward?.. I don't think so.
    “Why should they ask me to put on a uniform and go 10,000 miles from home and drop bombs and bullets on Brown people in Vietnam while so-called Negro people in Louisville are treated like dogs and denied simple human rights? No I’m not going 10,000 miles from home to help murder and burn another poor nation simply to continue the domination of white slave masters of the darker people the world over. This is the day when such evils must come to an end. I have been warned that to take such a stand would cost me millions of dollars. But I have said it once and I will say it again. The real enemy of my people is here. I will not disgrace my religion, my people or myself by becoming a tool to enslave those who are fighting for their own justice, freedom and equality. If I thought the war was going to bring freedom and equality to 22 million of my people they wouldn’t have to draft me, I’d join tomorrow. I have nothing to lose by standing up for my beliefs. So I’ll go to jail, so what? We’ve been in jail for 400 years.”

    Somehow I don't think Trump was too bothered about the brown or yellow people.
    Plus Ali was of the religion of peace. Trump's yuge brain would have exploded at that, though at least he wasn't an Hispanic rapist.

    No, he was born in 1973 in Peru.

    How many (famous) really rich people or their children actually went to vietnam by being drafted?

    Personally, if my sons could be gotten out of going to war Id help them. (assuming they havnt chosen to join the army)

    Trump really really wanted to do the Vietnam war but he had bone spurs. So medically he couldn't do it. Very disapointed. Very. But let me tell you after the war was over he had the best ever recovery from bone spurs. The best. Never been a better one in medical history. Can't even see the bone spurs in modern medical scans. They are healed. Completely. Many, many doctors say it's amazing and unbelievable how good a recovery it was. Genuine miracle. Bigley.

    It's remarkable that a proud neutral country would ever criticise someone for not fighting in a pointless war on the other side of world.

    It wasn't world war 2. It was Vietnam. Fuk everyone who thinks the Americans who fought with the South are worthy of praise. Ali didn't fight here and he's a hero for that.


    Go read about My Lai.

    His Dad was a Klan member.

    They were sort of like the armed wing of the Democratic Party at one point.


    At least that man served in some form.

    Would anyone here criticise their parents for not killing Vietnamese people?

    This imported military praise is repugnant. There are valid wars, there is peacekeeping, and there's mindless shlte like Vietnam was.

    Interestingly, the US is now a go-between, normalising strained relations between China and Vietnam, formerly allies during the war.
