  1. Trump is a POS, but let's never forget that the USA has a deeply sick relationship to war, endlessly throwing away young lives in service of acquisition, power games and the industrial military complex, none of which serves the nation in general; rather just a small group of people. Against that background, it was not heroic to go serve in Vietnam, any more than it was heroic to serve in Afghanistan, Cambodia, or Iraq. Yes, the soldiers who fought were courageous, but in service of what? America is a sick nation that is CONSTANTLY at war with enemies of its own creation. Against that background, avoiding military service is the rational thing to do.
