    But in Vietnam you can turn a scorpion into a snack.

    Vietnam — where Robert Mueller volunteered, went to Vietnam, and was a highly decorated war hero, including Bronze Star (with combat “V” for valor) and Purple Heart.

    Vietnam — where space force cadet Comrade TRUMPski McBonespurs avoided Vietnam by claiming “bone spurs” (while active in college sports) but supported the war as long as someone else was sent to die in his place.

    Trump, who has been a Democrat, Independent, Libertarian and only recently hijacked a RepubliCON party of gullible suckers who easily welcomed his snake oil scams, has a long history of lying.

    Mueller, a life-long REPUBLICAN, has a life-long reputation as a straight shooter and has never been caught in dishonesty.

    In a long history as a prosecutor and a prosecutor, Mueller has never been caught in any wrongdoing.

    Trump has repeatedly been sued for fraud and was denied a Las Vegas casino permit based on moral grounds.

    In ‘Nam, it’s check the shorts for scorps. In the Middle East, it’s check your boots for camel sh.t.

    Scorpions in Vietnam? I don’t know about all species of scorpion, but I do know that scorpions are ubiquitous in the Middle Eastern desert. You do have to check your footwear, your bunk and/or sleeping bag, or any place else that was previously dark, enclosed, and empty. I doubt the same species could survive in two such differing environments. I think he is actually trying to give this newb a valuable bit of advice now that he has his ear.

    I don’t think BD ever changed his opinion that the US was right to fight in Vietnam.

    I wonder if we’ll ever see Phred again in the Sunday strips?
