It's a good day to remember NO Trump has ever served this country

[HAB911]

Friedrich Trump, Donald Trump's grandfather, was classified as a draft dodger after he emigrated from Germany to avoid mandatory military service.

1. Not a damned one

I served 3 years as a Cav Scout
My stepfather is the first of 3 generations of Marines
My cousin (“Captain America” I call him) served mostly in Afghanistan and some in Iraq
My uncle served in the Korean War
My grandfather served in WWII and spent 2 years recovering from injuries at what became an Army hospital at the Greenbrier.

[HAB911]

4. I did 3 in the 70's, 1 on the DMZ

father was a SeaBee during WWII on a PT boat base in New Guinea, came home with malaria for the effort
One uncle a radio operator on the Big E and other ships
One uncle in the Army was at Hickham on Dec 7 and fought his way across the Pacific

Thank you, brother.

2. Mary Trump's father served

Air National Guard, according to Wikipedia

[HAB911]

3. that lineage seems the only one with any morals or conscience

[John1956PA]

23. Yes. I have held a sympathetic view to Mary's father, John.

It seems to me that he was basically a good-natured fellow. Sadly, he had an alcohol addiction which cut his life short. He was content being a pilot for a commuter airline, but his drinking put an end to that career. Members of his family chided him for his lack of interest in a career in business or in some other higher-profile calling. He ended up living on a family property where he performed maintenance duties.

5. He is the Commander In Chief. Upsetting but real.

[HAB911]

6. A civilian position

[twodogsbarking]

10. with the football

[HAB911]

12. a scary thought

that gets less attention than it should, considering the downward spiral we are witnessing

[Harker]

17. He's the demander-in-chief.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

30. That doesn't mean he ever served in the military,

that is a civilian position.

[Harker]

32. He's the most demanding, undeserving person ever.

Demander-in-Chief.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

35. Roger that.

[KS Toronado]

7. So IQ4.7 inherited bone spurs from his grandfather?

[HAB911]

8. definitely

bad genes

[Clouds Passing]

28. And his sex trafficking abilities

[MarineCombatEngineer]

34. I have that on a t shirt.

I like to wear it sometimes, with my USMC Retired ball cap.
It pisses some off because they know it's true, but for the most part, I get smiles, nods and outright compliments.

40. Thanks for the memory jog, been meaning to get that one

Have a open window where I was getting ready to order this one



I'll find one like yours to add to the order, T-shirt I get the most laughs & comments about is this one

[MarineCombatEngineer]

41. Those are great.

[Woodwizard]

11. Trump

Would have never made it through the first week of basic, I think that goes for his kids too. As soon as a drill instructor got in his face he would have a meltdown.

[overleft]

13. He did not just run away. He was kicked out.

[relayerbob]

14. That's not fair ....

They've served this country up to Russia, and others, many times.

[markie]

15. fuck trump and his family

I am proud of my grandfather, father and husband... and a number of other relatives that have served

[HAB911]

18. 2 uncles and my dad

Left, radio operator on the Enterprise and other ships
Center, was at Hickham Field Dec 7 and fought across the Pacific almost the whole war
Right, Dad, SeaBee on a PT boat base in New Guinea

[Norrrm]

16. The only Drumpf/Trump family members serving in Normandy would have been on the cliffs looking down.

[Paladin]

19. Pretty safe bet that no trump ever will.

Not while Republican politics continue to make them billions of dollars---no point in being "suckers" and "losers" when they're raking in that kind of cash...

[purr-rat beauty]

20. Because they're serving up Shit Sandwiches

fuck the drumpfs/trumps, fucking Faketriots

21. Veterans Day

He and his worthless sons will never know the sacrifices of the giants that made this country great.

26. In ANY capacity

[Diamond_Dog]

27. My cousin, uncle, father-in-law, brother-in-law, grandfather

all served their country.

31. Good to see another tanker

Have a great day, brother!

42. Guessing you know what a M578 VTR is then

My favorite vehicle

[GreenWave]

33. But one was a local fuhrer in Germany.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

36. No member of the trump family has served in three generations

[MarineCombatEngineer]

37. He and his family really are worthless POS,

my father served in the Navy as a Seabee, island hopping in the Pacific theater, had 2 uncles who served in the Army and Marines during WWII.
I served 2 tours in Vietnam and saw combat in Desert Storm as a Combat Engineer, while Been A Dick Donald claims his trying to avoid STD's was his Vietnam.

This man and his immediate family are a disgrace to the country and the world.

38. My dad was a SeaBee too

PT boat base in New Guinea, Bell System telephone man that came back with malaria

[MarineCombatEngineer]

39. They may have known each other,

he was one of the original SeaBees, he was wounded on Saipan in '44, he was with the 121st Naval Construction Btn. attached to the 4th Marine Div.

What a coincidence that would be if they knew each other.
Sadly, he's no longer with us, he was my hero, something Been A Dick Donald will never know about.

[HAB911]

43. That would be something

I've looked for may dad's actual unit ID but the only documents I have found pegged him on assignment to Motor Torpedo Boat Base 4 & 6, no real unit ID

[MarineCombatEngineer]

44. We have a DU member here who was doing overwatch for us as we cleared a minefield

during the Iraqi retreat from Kuwait during Desert Storm,
this is what I was operating:


He was on a berm providing overwatch security for us, we never actually met in person, but he recognized the ACE I was in as we headed for the mine belt.
Basically a dozer on steroids.

I may have a picture of you- at least in the ACE. I snapped a shot of one approaching the first belt.

I was about 100m to starboard laying on a berm with my 16, right behind me was a open back hummer with a Mk 40 mounted on a homemade contraption like the Rat Patrol. We had the seabees reinforce the cargo deck and build pintles so we could mount heavy weapons to our vehicles.

Thank you and everyone here for their service, whether or not they saw the elephant.

[HAB911]

46. Excellent!

Most have seen by now, but if you have not, check out my tour on the DMZ in 1970: https://jamesdevore.smugmug.com/PHOTOS-BACK-TO-THE-1960S/DEMILITERIZED-ZONE-CIRCA-1970

[MarineCombatEngineer]

47. Wow!!

Great pictures.
Thanks.

I was supposed to go back to Vietnam, this time as a non combatant in Oct., but thanks to Been A Dick Donald and his fucked up tariffs and whatnot, I decided to postpone it until things get better here at home, hopefully I can go sometime next year.

I'm going to dig up some of my pictures I took during my "tours" in Vietnam, back when i was much, much younger and filled with much more piss and vinegar and post them here after I get back home in a few weeks.

[HAB911]

49. Please do!

The photography group would love to see them!

[MarineCombatEngineer]

48. The one overriding memory I have of my time in S. Korea, besides the tension,

is that during the summer time, the whole country smelled like Kimchi, to this day, I love the taste of Kimchi.

[HAB911]

50. To my wife's chagrin, so do I

[MarineCombatEngineer]

51. It's definitely an acquired taste,

my late wife didn't like it either.
Seems like we kinda strayed off topic here but it's been a real pleasure talking to you about times past.

[jcmaine72]

45. I was going to vehemently disagree with the OP's assertion until...

I realized that I had misread the word "served" as the word "f*cked" for some reason.

[Joinfortmill]

52. Mary's father, Fred,Jr. did serve in the Air National Guard

His father & brother, Donald, tormented him most of his life. He died an alcoholic.

[Wicked Blue]

53. Oh, DT served - he served up the U.S. on a platter to the billionaires

[returnee]

54. He has done nothing but....

….disservice the country.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

55. Thank you for your service, Captain Bone Spurs.
