A new ad from President Joe Biden’s campaign released in time for Thursday’s D-Day commemoration features three U.S. veterans putting Donald Trump on blast.
“He’s a draft dodger, simple as that,” said Army veteran Ed McCabe. “I see a man who is only in this for himself,” Matthew McLaughlin, who was a Navy pilot for eight years, said of Trump. “Donald Trump has zero accountability in his life.” “I think the election is the difference between authoritarianism and democracy,” said Curtis Register, who served in the U.S. Marine Corps.
“He’s not fit to be commander-in-chief,” said McCabe. “He’s not fit to lead a squad, and he’s definitely not fit to be president of the United States.”

John McCain (R-Ariz.) because he was a prisoner of war in Vietnam.
