In post about qualifications, bob001 included losing her legs. That is absurd. It isn't bad faith to point that out.

What a stupid thing to say, Bob. No, it not absurd to say that losing the legs gives her an insight into the meaning of military service that Trump will never have when he sends young people off to die or be disabled for life.

I don't think we were ever discussing "the meaning of military service." I thought it was the political science of military affairs.

Unfortunately the Republicans have now produced two Presidents that actively worked to dodge the draft. This doesn't bode well for their views on potential military action.

Depends on your point of view. Obviously draft dodgers are comfortable opting out of military actions they think are ********. That seems like a good skill for a Commander in Chief to have.

Sorry, is this a serious argument that draft dodgers are particularly good at caring for the military?

Wealthy, privileged draft dodgers in particular?

It's a novel stance, I'll give you that.

Well, there you go again, trying to bob the thread by inserting "political science" into the middle of what Bob001 actually said:

Do you understand that she's a former Lt. Colonel who lost both her legs in combat in Iraq? That is a helluva qualification to discuss military affairs.

It most certainly does. She was in the military, from a military family, who went through what most soldiers hope not to. She has experience in more than just combat.

She CERTAINLY has more real-world experience in the military than your orange faced hero does that's for damn sure.

Except of course we have no evidence that Trump ever protested the Vietnam war or thought that the war was in any way a bad idea. He just didn't want to serve in it.

Perhaps you can provide some proof that Trump was out there in the 60s with the Hippies complaining about the war in Vietnam. Otherwise, we can just chalk up his draft dodging as cowardice. (Which would be acceptable, if he didn't simultaneously try to brag about things like "being smarter than the generals".)

Particularly since, despite his asinine bragging on the campaign trail, he more or less handed over control of the military to the generals.

Which is absolutely *not* supposed to happen, by the way.

Real world experience is extremely faulty compared to evidence based approaches.
