    He didn't "decide" to be "judge and jury" over the UCMJ, Shuny - it is his Constitutional responsibility as Commander-in-Chief.
    The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

    • Obama:
      Draft dodger - check - some BS about only being 13 in 1973 when the war ended.
      Judge and jury - check - exec clemency granted 1927 times, 330 of which were on his last day in office (a record number).

      Clinton:
      Draft dodger - check - oh yeah, going to college like that's an excuse
      Judge and jury - check - 459 times


      Wait, why are we playing this stupid game again?

        Obama was born in 1961 which means he was 13 when the war ended.

        That's not the charge against Trump, the charge is his deferment for bone spurs after he was out of college.

        Don't know, but you're losing at it.

          No, it isn't his responsibility to be judge and jury of the military court. But do continue to defend him at every turn, CP.

              Nah, you are - seriously, you can't get sarcasm that obvious?

              Also, Clinton.

                  It is not the responsibility of the Commander in Chief. It is one of the powers of the Commander in Chief, and should be used with better judgement than a draft dodger should us in the case of military justice.

                    It certainly isn't the responsibility of you or the MSM.

                    Were you this upset when Obama and Clinton intervened, Shuny?

                      Orange man just happens to be bad, the fact that he's orange with a bad hair cut is just funny.

                        Yep, Clinton weasled his way out of the draft, and so did Trump.
