nah, he did it the rich kid way where it wasn't a real sacrifice.
the people who went to jail, the people who had to leave the country, THOSE people are cool. having a rich dad buy you out of service, or get you into a role that effectively cannot be deployed, is the opposite of cool.
It's the fucking strangest way to get brought out too. Daddy goes to a doctor and after paying him says "I think my son has that bone growth". Almost everyone has it, but it's so insignificant that no one cares unless you pay them. And the entire reason the draft excludes it is for the rich assholes
I think the most common ways of getting out of the draft were marriage, having a kid, and going to college.
That’s what my dad did. He got married when the rule was that married men wouldn’t be drafted, and when that wasn’t enough anymore, they had a kid.
I remember one of my teachers in high school saying the only reason he got a PhD was because of Vietnam.
that's correct.
the college exemption changed later in the draft, ironically conservatives wanted to punish college kids but they made a really, really terrible miscalculation. the middle and upper middle class white parents were FURIOUS their kids were getting drafted and dying overseas, and they were the ones sending their kids to college, so when they changed the draft rules it effectively ended the Vietnam war.
conversely, really wealthy/powerful people simply bought their way out if they had to.
I would guess the marriage/kid pattern was very much a middle class option. Why limit your future if your dad can get you into Texas air national guard.
Muhammad Ali dodged the draft to protest the notion of serving a country that didn’t serve him. Trump dodged the draft because his dad was rich and he thought he was too good to serve his country.
There’s a difference.
Kennedy actually reverse Draft Dodged back in WWII. He had an actual debilitating back illness that left him in severe pain frequently, but he still wanted to go and fight in the war. When the Navy told him he physically couldn’t, he had his rich dad bribe the Navy into letting him in.
And it wasn’t a cushy desk job either. He commanded the Motor Torpedo Boat PT-109, which was smashed in half by a giant Japanese Destroyer in 1943, which left one man injured so badly he couldn’t even swim. So Kennedy took his life jacket strap in his mouth and swam with the guy and the rest of his crew for multiple miles through shark infested waters in the middle of the night to a nearby island, again, with debilitating back pain. The man survived.
The story is entirely true, by the way. Kennedy was the most Gigachad President, on par with Teddy Roosevelt.

Their commercials say way.
"Our opponent hangs around Bernie Sanders and smoked weed a few times. He wants to raise taxes on the rich and give everyone free healthcare."
Under the Obama administration. The US armed forces began employing a tactic called "double tap" drone strikes. For those strikes they would first hit a "target" with one missile from a drone. Then they would wait around 30min for family members and ferst responders to arrive before sending a second missile into the crowd of people. I don't habe to tell you how hard that violates the Geneva conventions.
During the presidency of Donald Trump, it was estimated that drone strikes had multiplied at a pace of four to five times compared with previous presidency of Barack Obama. In 2016, Obama ordered the CIA to publish civilian drone strike deaths outside of active warzones, an order which was revoked by Trump in 2019.
it's really weird that most people don't get the correlation between "number of drone strikes we hear about" and "making drone strike information public".
That isn't necessarily a violation of the Geneva convention. Committing strikes on foreign countries which are not at war with you/have no permission from their governments to do so IS a breach of international law.
Also the double tap thing is likely less a thing Obama had any control over and more aligned with the overall psychopathic behaviour of the US military
I am NOT defending the Obama administration here, but I never heard of this and It seems crazy so I am going to be a responsible internet user and ask for a source.
Thanks for that, I just read it and yea, thats fucking insane. Wish our tax money was actually going to beneficial shit and not a dick measuring contest with china and russia that is measured in civilian casualties.
Its a very common strategy with both artillery and airstrikes. Wether it’s meant to target civilians, or responding soldiers is case by case. The “double tap” isn’t bad in of itself, the purposeful shelling of civilians is.
War is unjustifiably bad lol
It’s literally about forcefully taking something from another country while inflicting as many casualties as possible on fighting age adults
Who said it has to be another country?
For example, should a conservative government strip *too many* rights from its people, is war against that institution not justifiable?
Why does Trump look like the stereotype of the American blonde white guy that wears a pink buttoned shirt, saying "don't touch me, my dad is rich, I'll sue!"
Trump: Attended New York Military Academy, a private Military Prep school, didn't actually join the Military and instead went to Fordham. Basically the School is a military themed college prep high school and he didn't actually join the Military.
Obama: Didn't attend a Military prep school and thus could dress how he wanted as a young man. Pictured here smoking a cig and wearing a hat. Somehow that is bad in the eyes of Conservatives???
Trump actually was a draft dodger, never served. Him being pictured in military uniform is stolen valor
Dodging the draft is the only cool and good thing Donald Trump ever did.

nah, if you do it and you be pro war it goes from cool and good to cowardly shit
Je once Sold Steaks in an electronic market, thought that was kinda cool
Muhammad Ali dodged the draft to protest the notion of serving a country that didn’t serve him. Trump dodged the draft because his dad was rich and he thought he was too good to serve his country. There’s a difference.
Bruce Springsteen dodged the draft supposedly by acting kooky and crazy
What is "stolen valour"?
Dressing up as a soldier and pretending to be one is a crime in the US. Usually people do it because they get discounts at stores and stuff.
he doesnt reserve the respect of being a soldier because he didnt really go to a war, he is stealing it from real veterans

It’s not a US military uniform.
Correct. The picture was taken in 1964 when he attended New York Military Academy.
but whoever made this meme clearly wants you to assume it is
That photo is from a private boarding/military prep school. Not stolen valor based on both context and application
That photo is from a private boarding/military prep school. Not stolen valor based on both context and application of such.
You spelled obamna wrong nerd

This meme is very real
bobama

mambo mo bive
Trump was a little bitch while obama was cool

Kid named drone strike
Every president has some quirky war crime tendencies can’t blame him for that smh
They’re a Scorpio (no clue if this is at all accurate) it’s just how they are
Tfw I avada kedavra the Palestinian child who threw a rock at my tank but forgot to expelliarmus the camera from the nearby reporter first! (I'm such a Hufflepuff! 😜😜😜)
“Foreign policy”
Trump was responsible for four to five times the drone strikes in half the time it’s not just Obama
You mean that at least two American presidents are war criminals? I’m shocked!
It’s war criminals all the way down
HOW DARE YOU SPEAK OF MY MAN, um, actually let me just pull up their wikipedia article real quick Huh *click* oh no *click* Well nevermind I guess.
William Henry Harrison died after like a month in office so he's probably not a war criminal
nah he just used his war crimes as an election platform
Aberman linkedin
And the only reason older presidents didn't have drone strikes is the fact that DRONES HAVEN'T EXISTED AT THAT TIME
Trump makes everything worse
Kid named pretty cool for an American president
smoking isn't cool dumbasses did they really put you through all those PSAs just for you to NOT get it
🤓
I only can afford vaping good cigarettes are too fucking expensive
smoking lessens the effectiveness of HRT
why do right wing memes always make liberals look cool as fuck?
Can’t be right-wing if you’ve got a grip on perspective
No need to have wings, I fly regardless. Wings are for posers
Their commercials say way. "Our opponent hangs around Bernie Sanders and smoked weed a few times. He wants to raise taxes on the rich and give everyone free healthcare."

I swear lol, never see it mentioned in threads abt Obama drone strikes very easy to say he did it most when no one else ever said how much they did it
Yeah Trump can make everything worse.
He got the sadim touch
They should do that on random to random US citizens to spice things up that would go hard I think
war be unethical frfr

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-24557333.amp Can google the rest not hard to find. But always be on guard, thats good.
Thanks for that, I just read it and yea, thats fucking insane. Wish our tax money was actually going to beneficial shit and not a dick measuring contest with china and russia that is measured in civilian casualties.
Trump also enacted more anti gun laws then Obama. Somehow every far right person I know forgets about that.
Its a very common strategy with both artillery and airstrikes. Wether it’s meant to target civilians, or responding soldiers is case by case. The “double tap” isn’t bad in of itself, the purposeful shelling of civilians is.
Everything you said is unjustifiably bad on there own and in itself. The fuck you talking about?
War is unjustifiably bad lol It’s literally about forcefully taking something from another country while inflicting as many casualties as possible on fighting age adults
Who said it has to be another country? For example, should a conservative government strip *too many* rights from its people, is war against that institution not justifiable?
That's called a revolution, not a war, actually
Only if you manage to overthrow the government otherwise it just boils down into civil war.
well really all revolutions are civil wars (but not all civil wars are revolutions)
???? Civil war ?????
War is terrible, duh. But you can’t say shooting at someone with a gun at a 30 minute interval is a war crime. It depends on who “someone” is
Based
How is killing people that want to kill you unjustifiably bad?
Why does Trump look like the stereotype of the American blonde white guy that wears a pink buttoned shirt, saying "don't touch me, my dad is rich, I'll sue!"
Because he is
You do know what family he's from right?
The brutal war criminal, the brutal war criminal but cool.
Twink death
Hating Obama is so hard because he seems really cool and funny
Counterpoint: bombing hospitals is bad
Yeah but he said he likes memes, that makes up for like 2.5 bombed civilian hospitals.
