Frivolous lawsuits are pretty common. And juries have awarded millions. Just look at the BS lawsuit where the lady sued Mikkie D's when she burned herself putting hot coffee between her legs and spilled it.

Guessing you didn't bother to fact check.....  again   huh

But they reap the benefits of this great country. I wonder if they have sons or daughters that have served.

Well I'd rather fight them over there than here. But hey, if you'd rather have another 9-11 here so be it.

I don't think that's what the meme implies......it just states a fact about no prior military service at all...

Lots of Presidents didn't serve in the military....either because they got out of it with a deferment, or merely grew up in more peaceful times....these guys 'dodged a bullet' (pun intended) somehow too......

It's likely that none of there families have ever served either.....

Jeb's brother served. So did his father #41. He is also the last living former President who is a veteran of World War II.
Clinton never served. Can't find as his family did either. His father actually died a few months before he was born. Name is William Jefferson Blythe III. His stepfather was an abusive drunk. Funny how he took his step's last name at 15 even though he would abuse his mother.
And is their any doubt about Hussein or his family never serving?

t's time to set the record straight. The following analysis, which relies on National Guard documents, extensive interviews with military officials and previously unpublished evidence of Bush's whereabouts in the summer and fall of 1972, is the first full chronology of Bush's military record. Its basic conclusions: Bush may have received favorable treatment to get into the Guard, served irregularly after the spring of 1972 and got an expedited discharge, but he did accumulate the days of service required of him for his ultimate honorable discharge.

Fake? He did get an honorable discharge. And didn't Dan Rather get into some hot water about falsifying documents on W's military service? Why yes, I believe he did back in 04.

Going back to Obamacare.

Seems the CBO that is the "non partisan" Congressional Budget Office states that employment will decline starting in 2017 because of the ACA. Love how that is working out for us. Don't you? Another Obama failure.

Whether they wanted to get rid of him or not is irrelevant. He did get the required amount of hours. And Dan Rather did have forged documents. His "retirement" was more than likely hastened by it anyway.

..ahem, actually his fulfillment of hours is in dispute....he missed over a year of required flight hours, duty, while he was off helping an Alabama senator run his campaign......I believe the word would be 'forgave' his required hours to get his butt outta there....LOL
