(15,428 posts)12. The quote in text (so I can pass it onward)
When I was bleeding to death in my Black Hawk helicopter after I was shot down,
I didn't care if the American troops risking their lives to help save me
were gay, straight, transgender, black, white or brown.
All that mattered was they didn't leave me behind...
I will not be lectured about what our military needs by a five-deferment draft dodger.

The country needs MORE Tammy Duckworth's in Congress. And far fewer chickenhawks like Tucker Carlson on TV.
I've said it before on these pages and I will say it again and again until Tucker Carlson and 45 STFU.

(2,272 posts)14. Bravo Ms. Duckworth
As a veteran myself I really think that the 5 time draft dodger tag should be applied to our chump in chief much more often. I ALSO think we ought to be bringing up and talking about those damn bounties from Putin much much more. I understand chump gives us and the media new fodder for outrage every single day but we can't let this be drowned out by other things.
