Donald Trump "I always felt that I was in the military." What branch? The Oompa Loompa brigade?

Donald Trump did not serve in the military, but according to a report, the Republican presidential candidate and multibillionaire business tycoon said in a forthcoming book that he still "always felt that I was in the military" because he attended a military boarding school and "dealt with those people." 

According to an upcoming biography and interview excerpts shared with The New York Times, Trump said that his five years at the New York Military Academy provided him with "more training militarily than a lot of the guys that go into the military." 

“After the Vietnam War, all those military academies lost ground because people really disrespected the military,” Trump told the author in an excerpt shared with the Times. “They weren’t sending their kids to military school. It was a whole different thing, but in those days — 1964 I graduated — that was a very good thing or tough thing, and it was a real way of life at military academy.” 

“My number was so incredible and it was a very high draft number. Anyway so I never had to do that, but I felt that I was in the military in the true sense because I dealt with those people,” Trump told the author in another excerpt. 

Yeah you know who doesn't think going to military school is like being in the military? People in the military. 

As it turns out Trump not only had a high draft lottery number, but also numerous deferments which he attempted to explain by taking off a shoe and pointing to heel spurs.

Now here we once again have an issue which SHOULD damage Trump and cause his support to fall away. But of course it won't because Donald Trump's candidacy is following no known rules of politics.

If John McCain becomes President he will reinstate the draft!



The video is on You Tube and as we all know You Tube does not lie.

So if you are a young person between 18 and 25 years old you do not want John McCain to ever be President.

If you are a parent of a male child between 18 and 25 you do not want John McCain to be President.

And if you are an intelligent sentient being, you do not want John McCain to be President.

Is that clear enough for you?

We knew it was coming and now here it is, the first talk of bringing back the DRAFT!

Frequent tours for U.S. forces in Iraq and Afghanistan have stressed the all-volunteer force and made it worth considering a return to a military draft, President Bush's new war adviser said Friday.

"I think it makes sense to certainly consider it," Army Lt. Gen. Douglas Lute said in an interview with National Public Radio's "All Things Considered."

"And I can tell you, this has always been an option on the table. But ultimately, this is a policy matter between meeting the demands for the nation's security by one means or another," Lute added in his first interview since he was confirmed by the Senate in June.

I am not at all surprised that they are beginning to test the waters to see if a draft idea will float, but I have to admit to being surprised that Bush actually has a "war adviser". I thought the dumb son of a bitch just made it up as he went along.

So I guess that they are dangling this in the water to see what our country's response will be.

Well here, let me help.

If the Bush administration tries to reinstate the draft they will see the Presidents approval ratings sink into the negative number category. We want out of Iraq, not to have more of our children forced to die over there.

In other words, NO FUCKING DRAFT!
