Dee, you are one of the more intelligent responders on this site. It does anger me when someone who hasn't served tries to differentiate between dodging the military and simply not serving.
That being said, one of the rights that our military fights for is the right to free speech. I express mine harshly some times. I don't defend what Trump did any more than I do the phony stories of people like Hillary who "landed under fire" or John "I didn't really serve on a gunboat" Kerry.
So yes, your opinion as to how there's a difference intrigues me. Others, not so much.
