Trump rips into 'Da Nang Dick' Blumenthal, claiming he fabricated tales!

[rightwinger]

Blumenthal said Vietnam Vet instead of Vietnam Era Vet

so he didn't lie about "bullets in the jungle"? I'm just interested in the answer to that, not a story that does nothing to answer it.

Still a Vet

Something Donnie Bonespurs ducked

You turds claimed GWB also ducked it.

Never saw GWB mock a POW

Nevertheless, your ilk ridiculed his service relentlessly. You don't get off the hook for hypocrisy by attacking Trump for some other reason.

You mean the part where Bush stopped showing up for National Guard duty?

 

[bripat9643]

Actually, it is Trump lying again

It was not Blumenthal saying he served in DaNang... Trump made it up
It was not Blumenthal saying he dodged bullets.....Trump made it up

Trump’s attacks on Sen. Blumenthal are actually more absurd than Blumenthal’s lies about serving ‘in’ Vietnam

Trump embellished. The bottom line is that Blumenthal claimed he served in Vietnam.

"We have learned something important since the days that I served in Vietnam."

He was in the Marines during Vietnam making him a Vietnam era Vet. He was not bragging about his service but commenting on the improvement of our military.....a minor embellishment

Richard Blumenthal - Wikipedia

Blumenthal received five draft deferments during the Vietnam War,[11] obtaining first educational deferments, and then deferments based on his occupation.[12] With part-time service in the reserves or National Guard.​

The difference between serving stateside and serving in Vietnam is not a "minor embellishment." What Trump said about him is a minor embellishment.

What exactly does that have to do with one of your boys lying about his heroism? Seems to me you should be incensed, but then again, you are part of the MOB, so why are we not surprised-)

RW doesn't live in Connecticut.

Neither do you for that matter.

Now that is the 1st thing I can ever remember you saying that is accurate. Good for you! But that does NOT mean I can NOT make a true statement on the lousy piece of LEFTIST, LYING, GARBAGSKI that holds one of their senate seats! Or, are you suggesting you have now unilaterally rescinded my right to free speech too!

.I can live with that (so long as you are honest about it - which he is not, IMO).

You fail to mention bloomy...this thread was started about bloomy exactly because of your claim above yet you only name trump who is certainly far more honest then bloomy about Nam...in fact your claim exempts trump and indicts blumenthal [sp].

 

[Frankeneinstein]

That isn't a quote. It's a Googly Image.

You can literally type anything you want into a Googly Image.

And that is why I asked timmy "so he never claimed to be in the jungle"?
and timmy wanted to know to what I was referring so I showed him the post

I have to tell ya, this explaining every word in the language in every post is tough work... it also is quiet effective in not answering the question/point posed...just try to find timmys response to this to see what I mean and then apply it to everything else under the sun to understand.

 

[The Purge]

Where did trump spend time during Viet Nam?

His draft # 356 in the draft lottery for men born in 1946 was NEVER CALLED UP TO SERVE,,,, I LOVE repeating this for all the asshole ABNORMALS that keep repeating he was a draft dodger... Now go GOOGLE it to make sure, I am not pulling a DemonRAT lie!

'The matter of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s military service (or lack thereof) surfaced multiple times during the 2016 election cycle, first in July 2015 when Trump maligned Sen. John McCain, a POW during the Vietnam War, for being captured, and again in July 2016 when he openly feuded with the family of slain U.S. soldier Humayun Khan after Khan’s father, Khizr, criticized Trump during an appearance at the Democratic National Convention.

Trump himself has never served in the military. Selective Service records obtained from the National Archives by The Smoking Gun in 2011 reveal the following history of his draft eligibility:

1964:
Donald Trump became eligible for the draft on his 18th birthday (14 June 1964) and registered with the Selective Service System 10 days later. He received the first of four 2-S (college) deferments on 28 July 1964.

1965:
Trump received his second college deferment on 14 December 1965.

1966:
Trump’s previous deferment expired and he was reclassified 1-A (available for military service) on 22 November 1966. His 2-S deferment was renewed on 13 December.

1967:
No record.

1968:
Trump received his fourth and final college deferment on 16 January 1968. After graduating from Wharton, he was reclassified 1-A on 9 July 1968. Trump underwent an Armed Forces physical examination (with a result listed only as “DISQ”) on 19 September 1968 and was reclassified 1-Y (qualified for service only in time of war or national emergency) on 15 October 1968.

According to a statement from the Trump campaign, the 1-Y classification stemmed from Trump’s having bone spurs in both heels:

While attending the University of Pennsylvania’s prestigious Wharton School of Finance, Mr. Trump received a minor medical deferment for bone spurs on both heels of his feet. The medical deferment was expected to be short-term and he was therefore entered in the military draft lottery, where he received an extremely high number, 356 out of 365.

1972:

Despite the supposedly “short-term” nature of Trump’s disqualifying physical condition, on 17 February 1972 he was reclassified 4-F (not qualified for military service), presumably due to the abolishment of the 1-Y classification the previous year.

https://www.snopes.com/news/2016/08/02/donald-trumps-draft-deferments/



'Trump received five deferments during Vietnam: four for his studies in college, and one for — you guessed it — bone spurs in his heel. As The Washington Post reported in July 2015:

For the previous four years, Trump had avoided the draft — and the possibility of being sent to fight in the Vietnam War — by obtaining four separate deferments so he could study at Fordham University and the University of Pennsylvania. With his diploma in hand and his college days over, he was suddenly vulnerable to conscription.

Trump’s exposure to the draft, however, didn’t last long. Two months later, on Sept. 17, 1968, he reported for an armed forces physical examination and was medically disqualified, according to the ledger from his local Selective Service System draft board in Jamaica, N.Y., now in the custody of the National Archives.

The ledger does not detail why Trump failed the exam — the Selective Service destroyed all medical records and individual files after the draft ended in 1973 and the military converted to an all-volunteer force.

In recent days, Trump, a Republican presidential candidate, and his campaign have said that he received the medical deferment because he had bone spurs in his feet. But rather than clear up all questions about why he did not serve in the military during the Vietnam era, they have given shifting accounts that are at odds with the few remaining documents in his Selective Service file.'

Analysis | McCain hits Trump where it hurts, attacking 'bone spur' deferments in Vietnam


If I changed the word 'Trump' to a Democratic politician - you would be freaking out about it (don't bother denying it - I won't believe you for a second).
But because it is Trump - you give it a pass.

Trump clearly did everything he could to get out of serving. That's fine - lots of people were against the war and did not want to fight in it...I can live with that (so long as you are honest about it - which he is not, IMO).
But to then turn around and insult others in regards to that war is hypocritical.


Have a nice day.

After all that bullshit, Trump's draft lottery number was 356, BTW, Blow Job, born the same year had 311 as his number! H!mmm....Blow Job with a lower # wasntw called up either!!!!

President Trump singled out Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., as one of the Democrats who most mistreated Brett Kavanaugh during Supreme Court confirmation hearings, branding him a hypocrite and launching into an extended tirade lampooning him making false claims about Vietnam.
.

.
"I just can't believe, it's because of the media, they've taken so much of it all, " Trump said. "But he, apologized like Jimmy Swaggart. Crying, bawling, because he conned the public when he was Attorney General of Connecticut for 15 years, talking about, 'As I went to Da Nang, bullets left and right. My friends going down.'”

What's Your Number? The Vietnam War Selective Service Lottery | HistoryNet

You keep repeating that distortion and misdirection. Trump was eligible for the draft during the entire decade of the 60's and particularly during rhe Vietnam War. The draft by lottery did not begin until 1969 and that was for men who would be inducted in 1970. Trump used deferments, aka, draft dodging, to escape service in Vietnam during rhe height of the War.

When young men Trump's age were being drafted in the mid-1960s Trump was evading service.
