But is that more combat experience than Trump has?

Sarcasm recognized.

I am looking at overall experience with how the military works, and, yes, he did get shot at. When he volunteered for infantry duty in Iraq, as far as I know, he was not guaranteed a paper shuffling job.

As offered before, there were parts of what he said that I can agree with, like PQ standards. The life of everyone in a squad depends on the ability of everyone else in the squad. No matter how brave and determined someone is, if they are too undersize or understrength, they can't do the job as well as others, and becomes a drag on the squad. It isn't just in a rifle squad either. Things can suddenly go wrong on a ship, like hitting a mine, and you need to be able to help an injured shipmate out of a flooding compartment.

Stay Puft is an entirely different conversation.
