This Former Marine's Response To Donald Trump's Military Parade Is Going Viral
Ahead of Donald Trump's parade this past weekend, which was meant to celebrate the military's 250th anniversary (as well as, perhaps, his birthday), talk show host Bill Maher asked former Marine Corps officer and US Representative Seth Moulton for his thoughts on the spectacle. In a now-viral clip from HBO's Real Time with Bill Maher, Maher asks Rep. Moulton, "As a veteran, what is your reaction to Trump's plans for a military parade?" HBO / Twitter: @RpsAgainstTrump His response had the studio audience bursting into laughter and applause. Related: Well, Well, Well, For The Second Time In 2 Weeks, People Are Letting JD Vance Know EXACTLY How They Feel About Him In Public "He's a draft dodger," Moulton said. "It's his first military thing he really gets to do." Moulton isn't the first to refer to Trump as a "draft dodger." Democratic Senator and Purple Heart recipient Tammy Duckworth previously referred to the 79-year-old as "Cadet Bone Spurs" as she spoke on Trump's previous politicization of the military. These critiques stem from a young Trump receiving not one, not two, not even three or four, but five military draft deferments during the Vietnam War. One of these deferments, according to the New York Times, was due to heel spurs, which left him unfit for active duty. This diagnosis reportedly came from a friend of his fathers. Related: "Let Them Eat Teslas": People At The "No Kings" Protests This Weekend Brought Signs That Were So Clever I'm Still Laughing About Them Continuing his point, Moulton delivered another jab: "Obviously, he likes Putin, he worships Kim Jong Un, he wants to be like that. He wants to be a dictator like those guys, and they have big military parades." Further, the representative considered the single-day parade's hefty price tag, which officials estimate to land somewhere between $25 and $40 million. "That could help a lot of vets," he said with a shrug as CNN anchor Jake Tapper chimed in with suggestions about how the money could have been diverted to Veterans Affairs offices to help vets directly. In response to the segment, some were quick to insist, "One veteran's words don't reflect the views of all veterans." Others, however, applauded Moulton's words. "Hell yes!" one person wrote. "Call it what it is — a coward who dodged service now wants to cosplay as a strongman? Disgraceful and dangerous." But what are your thoughts? Let us know in the comments.

Today in Chicago History: Bulls select Michael Jordan with 3rd pick in the 1984 NBA Draft
Here's a look back at what happened in the Chicago area on June 19 according to the Tribune's archives. Is an important event missing from this date? Email us. A guide to what the Juneteenth holiday is and how to celebrate itWeather records (from the National Weather Service, Chicago) 1933: The Museum of Science and Industry opened for a preview in the former Palace of Fine Arts — the last remaining building from the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition — in Jackson Park. The building previously housed the Field Museum before it opened in Grant Park in 1921. The museum was the gift of retail titan Julius Rosenwald of Sears, Roebuck & Co. He and his son, William, visited the Deutsches Science Museum in Munich in 1911. The boy was mesmerized by its interactive exhibits, which required him to push buttons and pull levers to determine the outcomes of science demonstrations. Rosenwald began suggesting such a museum for Chicago, one that would showcase the development of American industrial technology and scientific discovery. In 1926, he pledged $3 million to put one together. By the time it was finished, a year after his death, it would cost Rosenwald and his heirs more than $11 million (or roughly $20 million in today's dollars). 1966: A monument to Pfc. Milton Lee Olive was unveiled in a park named for him on the lakefront at the site of the city's water filtration plant and adjacent to Navy Pier. The soft-spoken South Side teen was killed in Vietnam on Oct. 22, 1965, after throwing his body on a hand grenade to save the lives of four military companions. Olive, whose nickname was 'Skipper,' posthumously became the first Black officer who served in the Vietnam War to receive the Congressional Medal of Honor. The Rolling Stones in Chicago: A timeline of the band's 55-year fascination with the city's blues1972: The Rolling Stones performed three shows in two days at the International Amphitheatre, with Stevie Wonder as opening act. The set list brimmed with songs from the month-old 'Exile on Main Street.' At least 25 concertgoers reportedly were arrested. The reviews were gushing: 'They were famous; now they are a legend.' 1975: Former Chicago organized crime boss Sam Giancana was shot to death in the basement of his home in Oak Park. The killing has never been solved. 1984: The Chicago Bulls chose two-time college player of the year Michael Jordan with the third pick in the NBA draft. 'The Bulls' No. 1 choice will need a few laughs to ease the shock of moving from a winning team at North Carolina to a loser in Chicago,' the Tribune's Bob Logan wrote. Jordan was practicing with the U.S. Olympic basketball team in Bloomington, Indiana, that day when he was asked about it. 'No, I've never been on a losing team before, but that doesn't bother me,' Jordan said. 'You don't join any team expecting to go out there and lose.' 2015: The former home of prominent gay rights activist Henry Gerber, at 1710 N. Crilly Court in the Old Town Triangle neighborhood, was designated a National Historic Landmark. The postal clerk formed the Society for Human Rights, but was arrested in 1924, for being gay. Gerber was never convicted, but the publicity (including a newspaper headline reading 'Strange Sex Cult Exposed') led to his firing for conduct unbecoming of a postal worker. The group he began quickly disbanded.
