Lewzer says he's a "War Hero".

President Donald Trump has made it abundantly clear that his lack of military service is a sore spot for him. He told the Washington Post in 2015 of his repeated Vietnam-era deferments: "I've always felt somewhat guilty because I didn't serve like many other people." In 2019 he cited a desire to "make up for it."

His method of compensating for that? Comparing his sacrifices to those of actual service members. Trump's comments on "The Mark Levin Show" on Tuesday might be his most stunning yet. He explicitly labeled himself a "war hero" because of his decisions on the use of military force. "[Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is] a war hero because we work together. He's a war hero," Trump told Levin, adding: "I guess I am too."

Be happy and nurse your bone spurs.

You were given the chance to serve, you declined.

Trump always tries to over-compensate for his failures.

Easier, I suppose, than admitting to himself that underneath all that braggadocios frothing, he's still a yellow-bellied coward.

BTW, REAL heroes don't call themself a hero.

Ted Striker: My orders came through. My squadron ships out tomorrow. We're bombing the storage depots at Daiquiri at 1800 hours. We're coming in from the north, below their radar.

Elaine Dickinson: When will you be back?

Ted Striker: I can't tell you that. It's classified.

And probably Newsworthy, too, considering whether or Pete Hegseth has the Mother of all hang overs.
