Pat Schneiter ("Get behind Trump," June 28) had me wondering what planet he/she is living on. According to Schneiter, Bill Clinton brought "shame" to the country and should have "gone to prison" for his "lies and infidelity."
First off, it is Hillary Clinton, not Bill, running for office, and staying married to someone who had extra-marital sex is not a disqualification for elected office. And, if infidelity and lying is cause for prison, 72 percent of the married men and 57 percent of married women, including "The Donald," should be in prison for infidelity and lying.
More importantly, George Will (noted ultra-conservative) wrote about when Trump dissed Sen. John McCain and Vietnam Veterans, saying he too had been "very brave" during his "sexual adventures."
Trump stated, "It's a dangerous world out there. It's scary, like Vietnam. Sort of like the Vietnam era. It's my personal Vietnam, I feel like a great and very brave soldier."
As a combat infantry veteran of Vietnam, let me tell "The Donald" he is neither great nor brave in his lack of military service. And let me tell Schneiter that no veteran should consider voting for this "shameful," "disgraceful," "lying," "embarrassing" pathetic excuse for a man.
