What is your opinion on Donald Trump "always wanting a purple heart"?

Disgraceful. Not only did he accept it, but his first words were "is this a real one or a copy"? True words of a con man. On top of that he had no shame is saying he always wanted to get one the easy way. I am baffled at the allure he has with veterans and the military when he has done nothing to but disrespect them.

Well then he should have gone to Vietnam. As an 11A 2LT there was a good chance he would have got his own either in a hospital or posthumously. Ridiculous.

I find this whole thing absolutely ridiculous. Trust me, I got it, the Purple Heart is an extremely prestigious medal. I have seen Soldiers awarded the Purple Heart for injuries I have sustained working in my garage at home. I am not taking anything away from anyone who has been wounded serving this great country but all this rhetoric is sounding more like Veterans feeling entitled to sympathy from civilians. Since when have we become so butt hurt over what other people think? We make fun of ourselves but we get mad when someone else does it? I got it, they weren't there, they haven't gone through what we have. Who gives a shit? What does this have to do with any issue this country is facing? I personally think emails classified as secret or higher being on a civilian server is way more serious than this crap but, I don't even really care about that.

If We The People really cared, we would insist that the candidates and their campaigns start focusing on and discussing the issues that are currently facing our country instead of slinging mud. Let's go brothers and sisters, get your thick skin back on and stop sweating the small shit.
