5 time Vietnam war draft dodger - AKA Cadet Bone Spurs - claims he would have won Vietnam very quickly. Also seems to be claiming that he has already won this war... again. What a cuck.

President Donald Trump has made the stunning assertion that he would have led the U.S. to victory in the Vietnam War within weeks.

Speaking as his conflict with in the Middle East entered another day, the five-time draft dodger also declared he had “all the time in the world” to end the war with Iran and warned people not to rush him as peace talks resume in Islamabad.

“I would have won Vietnam, very quickly. I would have won Iraq in the same amount of time that we we’ve won here,” he told CNBC.

I am sure he knows more about how to run a military campaign than anyone, he needs to update his resume to reflect that:

I don't know the context of his comments..but I'll give you an example of what fighting in Vietnam was like...I flew attack helicopters...in addition to the fact that we would run out of ammunition, we were resrtifcted by the rules of engagement. In spite of the fact that we carried as much or more firepower than an infantry rifle company, before we could fire we had to be fired up on, had to clearly identify where the fire was coming from and had to determine if the fire was actually endangering the aircraft. Crazy stuff when you're in combat.

The rules of enagement in the Iran conflict seem to be much loser.

Also in Vietnam, the was was managed more by the politicians, who actually determined target packages, than the military commanders.

In fairness, it does seem as if Trump isn't a similar micro manager.

Now whether he could have won the war is weeks or not....I seriously doubt it.

You have to admit, he has a very good track record when it comes to ending wars quickly!



Leavitt: "I'm not sure why after ten years of covering this president, the American media still cannot understand when President Trump says he will do something, he is going to do it."

Thank you for your service, you all were heroes. Our brave soldiers in Vietnam were put in impossible situations.

Based on reports emerging in April 2026, military advisers and senior White House staff intentionally kept President Donald Trump out of the Situation Room during the high-stakes rescue operation of two US pilots in

  • Reasons for Exclusion: Aides feared that Trump's "impatience" and "volatile approach" would not be helpful and could jeopardize the sensitive rescue mission, according to senior administration officials.

The context is "I had inside help to arrest maduro and "took over" venezuela in minutes, I could have done the same thing in Vietnam". It is typical Trump bluster. He is a narcissist with dementia. That's all there is to it. He thinks blowing up Iran's navy and controlling their air space is the same thing as what we tried to do in Vietnam. He's clueless.

thanks for your service. We were lucky to have brave soldiers like you and my father to fight that war, while cowardly betas like Trump claimed they had bone spurs to dodge the draft five times.

thank you...it's kind of funny...I had always considered the military, but it's a big step to actually walk into a recruiter and sign up, especially when there's a war. Back then we had a draft, and it was decentralized. I guess local offices had quotas and great discretion as to whom and when to draft. I had been notified that it was my time..but I had taken an extra semester to graduate - switched colleges and lost some credits ..so Mrs Murphy (still remember her) gave me the extra semester to finish, but was clear..after that time, no extensions..
Anyway I graduated in December and Mrs M said my draft date would be June.. so I figured, might as well join and get a chance at what I wanted. So I did...and wouldn't you know it, both my wife and I really enjoyed the Army, so I ended up making it a career.

Life's twists and turns have a funny way of screwing with your plans.

Well, he could have bombed the dykes in Hanoi and killed a WHOLE LOT of people. THAT might have given the North Vietnamese a reason to reconsider their position. But it would have been a war crime. So would dropping a nuke on North Vietnam. One doesn't need to be a Vietnam vet to understand that.
