Fox Business host Lou Dobbs is in very hot water over remarks he made about U.S. generals who were reportedly concerned how it would look if they appeared at President Donald Trump’s “Salute to America” event at the Lincoln Memorial, fearing it would cast them as taking sides politically.
Defense Department guidelines, according to CNN, explicitly prohibit uniformed service members from participating in political events.
That led Dobbs to attack U.S. generals on Twitter. And he did so on July 4th, no less:

It didn’t take long for others on social media — especially veterans — to remind Dobbs that he and his idol, Donald Trump (aka Commander Bone Spurs) didn’t serve at all and need to sit down and shut up on the topic of generals, the military, and honor:

As a vet I certainly do not speak for all other vets. But to me, the American Military represents the best of us. Attacking them in this manner is unpatriotic and ungrateful – especially from a man like #LouDobbs who has never worn the uniform of our country. https://t.co/uDCAoqbG4R

I served too. I’m still serving. Lou Dobbs & 45 couldn’t carry the water of our Service Members. But those who never had the nerve to raise their right hand seem to always have a lot to say on the subject and seem to always try to speak for us.

I served. You dodged the draft like your bone spur buddy. The generals have more integrity in their big toe than this entire bunch of Trump humpers. Kiss my royal behind Dobbs. pic.twitter.com/7N6v86IGin

Imagine how much trouble Lou Dobbs would be in if he worked at a news channel.

Lou Dobbs, former bank teller and master of the non-sequitur #ChickenHawk never served, never put his life in another man’s hands and asked him to put his life in Dobbs’… Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand a post! pic.twitter.com/co83tHHeIk

As a retired mbr of the US Navy, I am appalled by Dobbs’ comment. Can someone tell me what branch of the military he served in and what war did he fight in? …..I’ll wait! https://t.co/eCCNTIPhfR

The veterans (immigrants too!) who have served our nation proudly would like to see your cowardly ass on the frontlines. You talk a big game, Lou Dobbs, but your fealty to the most treasonous, racist, rapist, syphilitic slug criminal to squat in the Oval Office is all you’ve got.

Born in 1945, Dobbs clearly could have volunteered for Vietnam service, or he could have made himself available for the draft. No, he’d prefer to let others fight and die for him, and then smear their service to help his fellow draft-dodger. #ChickenHawk

Just like Donald Trump, Lou Dobbs is a half-witted bully who thinks he can attack anyone and get away with it. But when he starts trying to slag actual American heroes, he’s stepped over the line.
