1. The time Trump tried to argue John McCain wasn’t a war hero. “He’s not a war hero. He was a war hero because he was captured. I like people who weren’t captured.”(IOWA 2016)
2. The Time Trump compared his sex life in the 1980s to a war experience.“I’ve been so lucky in terms of that whole world. It is a dangerous world out there – it’s scary, like Vietnam. Sort of like the Vietnam era. It is my personal Vietnam. I feel like a great and very brave soldier.”(HOWARD STERN SHOW 1980)
3. The time Trump congratulated a soldier he just awarded the Purple Heart. (WALTER REED HOSPITAL
atient had lost leg and was "congratulated")
4. The time Trump “received” a purple heart and said it was “easy.”“And I said, ‘Man, that’s like big stuff. I always wanted to get the Purple Heart. This was much easier.”
5. The time Trump attacked a Muslim couple whose son was posthumously awarded a Gold Star after protecting his unit with his life.
6. Never forget that Donald Trump received five draft deferments. Like the privileged son of a rich businessman he is, Donald Trump received five separate draft deferments during the 1960s. Four of them were for college.
After he left college Trump was a model American youth. Tall, athletic, an unblemished medical history that would make him the perfect candidate to be drafted to go serve his country in Vietnam, where high-quality recruits were desperately needed.
But in 1968, right after he graduated, Trump suddenly received the diagnosis of bone spurs in his heels.

7)President Donald Trump’s budget released Tuesday proposes cutting monthly stipends to some disabled, unemployed veterans and reducing veterans’ cost-of-living adjustments as offsets to continue a program that allows veterans to seek care outside the Department of Veterans Affairs. Listed as one of the offsets for the extra cost is a new restriction on compensation for veterans through the VA’s “individual unemployability” program.
Currently, veterans eligible for the program have a 60 to 100 percent disability rating through the VA and are unable to secure a job because of their service-connected disability. The program allows them to get paid at the highest compensation rate. For 2017, the monthly rate for a 100 percent disabled veteran living alone is $2,915 per month.
