Democratic presidential hopeful Pete Buttigieg on Thursday hammered President Trump for in the past saying he had bone spurs to avoid being drafted into the Vietnam War, saying he faked the disability.
“Well, I have a pretty dim view of his decision to use his privileged status to fake a disability in order to avoid serving in Vietnam,” Buttigieg, an Afghanistan War veteran, said during a livestreamed interview with The Washington Post.
“Yeah, at least not that one,” he doubled down when asked if he thought the condition was faked. “This is actually really important because I don’t mean to trivialize disability, but I think that’s exactly what he did.”
The South Bend, Ind., mayor has shot to national prominence in recent months following a media blitz that has included various interviews with national outlets as well as more niche publications.
In this "equal" society we live in, women had "oppressive gender roles" and are now free, while men still have "responsibility". Not an ounce of mud was slung at Shillary Clinton for having no part in Vietnam.

Conscription is now considered unethical isn't it? It hardly matters, this is yet another media attempt to disparage the president and alienate his supporters. Anyone with a brain realized long ago what those rats are up to.

It's a bit weasley, unightly, but I can't bring myself to care. Tons of people dodged the war this way, especially the rich. Is there really any honor in being shipped off to a slaughterhouse over a cause that amounts to little more than a dickslinging contest against the Chinese? I don't think so.

oh shit they are learning

Since corruption matters now this mean Hillary is going to jail now, right? Right? The media needs to earn trust before this shit is worth listening to. Boy who cried wolf etc. Even if it is real, who cares? Why only care about the corruption that exists on the less filthy side of politics?
Take down the traitors who are openly hostile to the continued existence of the west and I'll care.

well yea maybe you shouldn't be human garbage and you wont be treated like some "oh i'd run and stop school shooters myself? what that there's one here? oh i feel my bone spurs acting up again"
