So did I hear Don the Con say that he always wanted a purple heart?

[malaise]

Then why did he dodge the draft so artfully? He's a first-rate con.

1. I heard he twisted his ankle when he dodged and ran away. Does that count for one?

4. LOL

Anything works unless you're a genuine success like Muhammad Ali.

2. ...

3. He wanted

someone else's purple heart! (I'm sure he doesn't even know what it's for!)

5. He always wanted a purple one, but was born with a yellow one instead. n/t

6. Somewhat Surprised

I am somewhat surprised that a veteran who earned a Purple Heart would give it to Donald Trump, a guy who sought and received 5 deferments. Bill Clinton was dragged through the mud because he skipped Vietnam. Now, Donald Trump along with not being criticized for his multiple deferments is being given Purple Hearts.

[gratuitous]

7. Maybe he could get one of those 2004 RNC purple heart band-aids?

It looked so fetching on that Texas delegate's first chin.

8. It's very complicated

because it also has to speak to it's real meaning to ex-military. It cannot be merely symbolic.
Let the DU military men speak to this.
