“Like we used to say in the military, make a path,” @realDonaldTrump (who did not serve in the military) says at a White House reception.

Trump not only never served in the military he actively dodged the draft, getting a pass due to alleged bone spurs in his feet. It’s unknown if Trump actually has bone spurs, but such a condition doesn’t disappear.

Bob Kerrey, a former Republican Senator and SEAL officer in the U.S. Navy went after the president in March demanding to see proof of the bone spurs.

“This is the guy that showed up and said, ‘I don’t want to go to Vietnam, like [McCain] did,’” Kerrey explained. “He said, ‘I wasn’t eligible to go to Vietnam because I had bone spurs.’ You don’t grow out of bone spurs. I call on the president, get your feet x-rayed. Let’s see those x-rays. I want to see. While John McCain was flying combat operations in Vietnam, you were, I think, falsifying that you had bone spurs in order not to go to Vietnam. Now, I know lots of people who avoided the draft, but this isn’t what he’s saying. He said I physically couldn’t go. Well, Mr. President, get your feet x-rayed and let’s see those bone spurs. I don’t think he has them.”

1. Cowardly POS!

It amazes me how so many military people can support this yellow-bellied draft dodger 100%. Does not give me a very high opinion of them and their judgment.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

2. Didn't he once attack Senator Blumenthal--

—who unlike Trump actually did serve in the military, although stateside—for supposedly making up battle exploits (which he never did; he was simply criticized for conflating service during Vietnam to service in Vietnam)?

What a hypocritical asshole.

7. Get ready.

.

Once he declares Judiasm a nationality:

Jews will become dual-citizens with conflicted loyalties, and Jews will lose religious exemptions & protections.

====

He's been telegraphing this for years, claiming that Jews are more loyal to Israel than the United States.

40. Trump keeps inviting pastor Robert Jeffress to the wrong events

Link to tweet

It was eight years ago this week that Donald Trump was outraged that then-President Barack Obama hosted a Hanukkah celebration at the White House two weeks before the start of the holiday. Nevertheless, Trump hosted a Hanukkah celebration at the White House yesterday, two weeks before the start of the holiday.

But as HuffPost noted, the event itself became notable for entirely different reasons.

President Donald Trump signed an executive order aimed at tackling anti-Semitism on college campuses on Wednesday – but one of the speakers at the event has said that Jews are going to hell.
Trump signed the order at a White House Hanukkah reception, with several prominent Jewish Americans in attendance, including New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft and Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz.

But the president also called upon evangelical Christian leader Robert Jeffress to speak, claiming he’s a “tremendous faith leader.”
....A controversy soon followed, and much of the country learned of Jeffress’ record of over-the-top extremism on issues throughout the so-called “culture war,” with the Texan having lashed out at everyone from gays to Mormons to Muslims to Catholics (he’s described Roman Catholicism as a “cult-like pagan religion,” which represents “the genius of Satan.”)
Of particular relevance today, he’s also said “you can’t be saved by being a Jew.” As recently as four years ago, Jeffress even insisted that Christians in the United States are persecuted in ways comparable to Germany’s treatment of Jews before the Holocaust.

6. I've never heard

“make a path” in over twenty years of service. It was ALWAYS “make a hole”.

The response to someone shouting “make a hole” was often some other Soldier shouting “make it wide”.

[bullwinkle428]

22. MAKE A HOLE! MAKE IT WIDE! PUSH AN ORANGE CLOWN INSIDE!

[treestar]

42. ...

[TomSlick]

24. Nor did I in twenty-seven years.

What really pisses me off is the stolen valor of this dip-shit draft dodger falsely claiming to have served.

[DENVERPOPS]

34. Distinctly reminds me of

some of our other favorite C********* S******* (DU is on my back)

Let's see: Reagan, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Pearle, need I go on? Oh I forgot AWOL "W", he is my favorite.....

[dware]

46. Actually Ronald Reagan did serve in the Army during WWII.

[DENVERPOPS]

50. I knew that

but I was referring to the war stories he told the public, when in reality his war story was from a part he had played in a war movie.....LOL

[dware]

60. Ok, now I understand. nt.

[Wounded Bear]

43. Yep! He even screws up when he lies...

[cwydro]

8. What an utter pillock.

He knows he can say anything and never be challenged.

[Stinky The Clown]

9. Facts are pesky things. Like Bob Kerrey's political party.

Bob Kerrey, a former Republican Senator and SEAL officer in the U.S. Navy went after the president in March demanding to see proof of the bone spurs.

(emphasis mine)

Uh . . . . . . wanna check that, please? Last I knew, he was a DEMOCRAT.

[XRubicon]

11. Make a hole

Make a path... he give himself away with his stupidity

12. There will be that one day

he will be judged and it won't be pretty. He will go to Hell.

[Boomerproud]

47. My total respect to both you and Col. Slick

[DENVERPOPS]

59. I truly wish

that you gentlemen could educate all of us on how so many in the military are Pro Trump. It definitely defies logic, reason, or logical thought processes.....esp after Trump's pardon of two-three who were guilty of war crimes........

[dware]

61. Just from talking to some of the Veterans I run across,

he's fast losing the support of the Military, especially the Officer's Corps. with his lies and behavior.

I'm pretty sure the JCS have nothing but quiet contempt for him, especially after he intervened in the Military Justice system.

Of course, that's just my opinion, but I think I'm on the right track.

[dware]

62. I thank you.

[Wounded Bear]

44. Semper Fi!

[Flaleftist]

14. He considers his time in military school to be equivalent.

I'm not joking. There is video of him saying that.

[TheBlackAdder]

23. Guaranteed, someone said to him that they would frag his ass when they got to Vietnam.

[Midnight Writer]

28. He also said his personal Viet Nam was dodging VD because of all the sex he was having.

[smirkymonkey]

55. That just makes me want to puke for a number of reasons.

He is a coward who dodged serving his country, he has the nerve to suggest his experience was comparable to those who did see combat and the fact that he was bragging about having unprotected sex with numerous women (some I am sure who have had abortions paid for by him).

He is pure filth.

[DENVERPOPS]

35. He is quoted

as waging war here in the U.S. from catching STD's........lol

How can anyone in the Military worship Trump????????????

[Harker]

15. His 'Supreme Leader' Space Force uniform

will soon be unveiled.

[Aussie105]

16. The beauty of being Donald Trump

is that your connection to reality, both past and present, is somewhat tenuous and can be adjusted to suit at the slightest whim.

I bet he was a four star general, and fought in WW1, WW2, Korea and Vietnam. Right, Donald?

[bucolic_frolic]

17. He won't show his bone spurs, he won't show his tax returns

what good is he?

[keithbvadu2]

19. "I feel like a great and very brave soldier"

"I feel like a great and very brave soldier"

[Mersky]

20. Oh, geez.

Good grief, he would say something like that.

[MagickMuffin]

25. Bob Kerrey is a DEMOCRAT

never a republicon. Not sure who got the facts wrong, Rawstory (who steals articles) or the original article???

[orleans]

30. i kind of remember liking bob kerrey

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Kerrey

[tirebiter]

29. I was just cutting and pasting

To spread this story. Then saw that. Guess, I'll use the tweet,

[pwb]

45. Where did he take is Basic training?

Everyone takes Basic. No the CIC thing doesn't count to this vet.

[C_U_L8R]

32. Stolen valor

The CINC is a POS. What a cowardly scumbag.

[SCVDem]

33. Stolen Valor

It's not just about medals!

Another high crime!

Semper Fi

[hvn_nbr_2]

36. I want to see the fucking LONG FORM x-rays from that f-ing birther pig. nt

[Aristus]

37. It's "Make a HOLE!", you hamhock!

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

38. Oh but don't you know The Growing Legend of Captain Bonespurs?

[BSdetect]

41. Won't show xrays, real medical reports, academic records, Tax returns, Putin's tapes, full Mueller

report ..........

[Poiuyt]

48. But, but...Trump has a Purple Heart

[smirkymonkey]

56. It makes me sick that he actually accepted that from a veteran who earned it.

He is such a disgusting coward. He has no concept of what it means to have served one's country.

[dware]

63. It makes me sick that that veteran would offer it to him

and then pose with him accepting it.

[smirkymonkey]

64. Yes, I suppose there is that as well.

But he still should never have accepted it. There is no decency or graciousness in his character whatsoever.

[dware]

66. Agree. nt

[SammyWinstonJack]

67. Right! Disgusting that.

[Tracer]

49. Would someone be so kind as to explain what "make a hole" means?

For those of us who haven't been in the military?

[getagrip_already]

52. move out of the way of an officer or dignitary coming though.....

Is how my dad used to use it.

Make it wide is such a nice cut. I love it.

[Turbineguy]

53. When an officer wants to get through a crowd

or the path is blocked, somebody yells out "Make a hole!" so the officer can pass. It's a very nice very American expression I think because it's just slightly insulting without crossing the line into insubordination.

[TheBlackAdder]

57. Hunt for Red October. The sub captain yells it when going down stairs to meet Alec Baldwin's char.

.

Starting at 7:20 into this clip. "Down ladder. Down ladder. Make a hole."

.

[Turbineguy]

51. The expression is

"Make a hole!"

[Eliot Rosewater]

54. Like 98% of all GOP serving or on the radio etc they are what we call

CHICKENSHIT
CHICKENHAWKS

As opposed to lets say Bill Clinton who did not serve but who did NOT support the war , HUGE DIFFERENCE

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

65. Trump said that in lieu of serving, he practiced unprotected sex.

I don't want to know what it means when he yells, "Make a hole!".
