This is yet another eason why I think Trump is a total bullshitter, especially on this subject. He dodged the draft - I'm actually Ok with that). What would impress me though, would be for Trump to say "I was afraid to go to war. Its cowardly and I'm ashamed but its the truth". Then you know that if he followed that up with any kind of praise for any soldier, McCane or other wise, that he would actually mean it. I don't think he can do it.

Is this man a coward, Mark? People didn't avoid the draft because they were "cowardly", they avoided the draft because they did not believe in the war we were involved in.
