First it was the Confederate flag. Now it is the POW/MIA flag.

"Rick" Perlstein should be immediately awarded a Pulitzer prize. Posthumously. Commie pinko POS.

A quick Google shows old Rick was born in 1969, same year I was drafted and sent to Vietnam. And yet he knows so much more about those times. Funny how that works. ${$default_wink_smiley}$

Sorry if it offends people, they just need to understand they don't rule the rest of humanity with their Political Correctness views! ${$default_roll_eyes_smiley}$

I hope they put their rubber heals on so the can bounce up and kiss my A$$...

I see no offense in it.

But POWs were not treated right until Vietnam.

Our leftist friends play the race card so often that the term "racist" has no meaning anymore.

I called the tree in my backyard a "Black Walnut" and the neighbor said I was racist.

I still don't get it. Who, other than the author, ever called that flag racist?

"He's not a war hero," Trump said dismissively of McCain, who spent more than five years being tortured as a prisoner of war in Vietnam and suffered permanent injuries as a result.

Trump, who received a number of deferments to avoid serving in Vietnam, backtracked slightly after drawing boos.

"He's a war hero because he was captured. I like people who weren't captured," he said, to a mix of laughs and jeers from the several hundred social conservatives gathered at the Family Leadership Summit.

This veteran will not be voting for Trump.

Hillary would be better-RIGHT? also a vet & will vote for anyone BUT HER

Wolfie · April 24 2016 06:40:26 PM MDT

Of course she would be. No US combat deaths in any operations that President Clinton initiated.

I like to keep our troops alive, draft dodgers have no problem sending your kid off to die while their kids make money on it.
