Social Media Calls for Barron Trump to Enlist After Military Strike

November 17, 2025 by emma

However, public perception matters — and when a leader sends others into danger without personal exposure, criticism can follow.

Historically:

• George H.W. Bush did send his sons into active duty , including George W., who flew fighter jets in Texas and Alabama during Vietnam.
• John McCain’s son followed him into the Navy.
• Joe Biden’s son Beau served in Iraq.

These examples are often cited by critics of the Trump family — not necessarily as demands, but as comparisons that highlight personal stakes in national decisions .
