The Drumpfs have been here over a hundred years, not one has served in the armed forces.

They are a large family.

How the Hell do you pull off such a feat?

My dad and his brother served in WW ll. My cousin served in the Guard during the VietNam War.

No service (Rayguns was an actor not a fighter pilot), Bush 2 was a service dodger, now twitler the outright dodger with his fake ankle proble.

Has that magically cleared up without trace?

Plaudits to Bush 1 for his service.

- Oh, almost forgot that Republican Comrade Casino is not just a draft dodger, but also a tax dodger.

How many Americans will elect to emulate the Republican Role Model, and make 2017 the year of the Republican Tax Dodgers?

Please let us know. This family wouldn't know the concept of public service if it bit them on the ass.
