Donald Trump would have won the Vietnam War!

His military training in delinquent boys' prep school was far superior to our Basic Training and Advanced Infantry Training.

Boy, do my fellow VN vets and I have egg on our face! Why didn't we think of going to boys' prep school for the REAL down-and-dirty WINNER training?

I feel so ashamed.

He's even worse than Bush when it comes to offending people, especially his fellow countrymen.

... you didn't have the block of instruction on "whining for tactical advantage", or "make the pout your war-face", or "how to grow your own helmet liner".
