In reply to the discussion: Trump to participate in Memorial Day wreath laying at Arlington National Cemetery [View all]jmowreader
(50,528 posts)24. He wouldn't have been fragged, b/c you don't get ammo
I figure the drill sergeants would have taken one look at him and pronounced, as one, duty soldier. In the Army we have duty bodies. Everyone has to take a turn at doing Army BS. (The best Army BS I ever did was inventorying the walk-in freezer at the Yongsan commissary...in July, when it was about a thousand degrees outside. You put on this really good winter suit, head into the freezer and stay there all day. It was great.) The Duty Soldier, which they had in Vietnam, had no other job than to do shit details. You dont get a weapon, you just spend all day doing menial labor. Perfect job for President 021.

NOBODY in his family has ever served. Google his Bavarian (immigrant) grandfather and KKK dad.
