Cadet Bone Spurs tells Vets he didn't go to Vietnam because he "Didn't like that war"
Quote:
(CNN)On the 75th anniversary of a defining battle of the defining war of human history so far, it's clear that military service has never been less important to American voters.
President Donald Trump, who is in Europe to commemorate D-Day, felt completely comfortable explaining his own lack of service in Vietnam because he didn't like that war, though at the time he said it was bone spurs. Trump said Wednesday he's making up for it by giving the military lots of money now -- taxpayer money, that is.
///
Do you wish you'd been able to serve? Would you have liked to serve your country?" Morgan asked.
Trump replied by questioning Vietnam, mirroring some of the anti-war sentiment of the '60s and '70s.
"Well I was never a fan of that war. I'll be honest with you. I thought it was a terrible war. I thought it was very far away. Nobody ever -- you're talking about Vietnam at that time and nobody ever heard of the country," Trump said, adding the non sequitur that, today, the government of Vietnam has been successful negotiating in global trade.
