False Advertising! To call someone "Commander-in-Chief" who avoided serving in the military purposefully doesn't deserve the title. Duzzy?

Going to military school or playing "soldier" isn't the same thing is it?

    Then I guess Obama and every other president who never served didn’t deserve the title Commander In Chief.  This post was edited by my2cents at September 21, 2018 9:44 PM MDT

    Clinton was an alleged draft dodger. Clinton did not dishonor vets? That is a joke right?

    Hillary was never President. Bill never mocked or denigrated veterans, Trump has made a habit of it.

    FDR didn't technically have any military service (and it would have been unreasonable to expect it of him, poliomyelitis rendered him 4F) but he did serve as attache to Josephus Daniels, Secretary of the Navy in World War I.
