* Come on Trump supporters...now is the time to stand up for his idiotic statement....NO? Didn't think so, even you know how incredibly ignorant this statement is.
* "Trump adds that time spent at the New York Military Academy was 'more training militarily than a lot of the guys that go into the military'". Let's see how this blows back on him.
* Blowhard was a draft dodger. He has no clue about real military service.
* ...this front-runner says plenty about the state of his party.

Non-Vet Donald Trump Insists Military School Is the Same As Military Service
See, he's just like John McCain. See??
By Matt Miller, September 8, 2015
After undercutting John McCain's war hero status and brushing his own Vietnam deferments under the rug, Donald Trump has once again mythologized his own time in the military in hopes of bolstering his presidential campaign. The funniest part: someone out there buys it.
According to a new report from The New York Times, Trump recently told biographer Michael D'Antonio that he "always felt that I was in the military" because of his education at a military-themed boarding school. As the Times writes:
According to the book, Mr. Trump attended the New York Military Academy after years of rowdy and rebellious behavior at Kew-Forest, a more traditional prep school in Queens. Mr. Trump once recalled giving a teacher at Kew-Forest a black eye "because I didn't think he knew anything about music." He arrived at the military academy — where tuition now reaches $31,000 a year — for eighth grade in 1959 and remained for high school. Like all students at the Cornwall-on-Hudson, N.Y., campus, he wore a uniform, participated in marching drills and was expected to conform to a hierarchy imposed by instructors, some of whom had served in the military.Trump adds that time spent at the New York Military Academy was "more training militarily than a lot of the guys that go into the military" and that "when I look at myself in the first grade and I look at myself now, I'm basically the same. The temperament is not that different." We can't argue with that.
