Donald Trump’s Draft Deferments: Four for College, One for Bad Feet

8.23K

This is very interesting. I didn't know that Trump had five deferments from the Vietnam war. He was healthy enough to play football, basketball, golf, tennis, and squash, but after he graduated college he got a permanent deferment because of bone spurs? Something smells funny and it's not his feet.

If you can dodge the draft, you can dodge the truth

Then you have a very poor memory.
Bill did not claim to be a military expert who knows more than the Generals and learn more in preps school that we who have served,

There are a multitude of medical conditions which can prevent one from joining (or being drafted into) the military. Some of them do not prevent people from playing sports (Asthma for example). This quest to disqualify someone for not being drafted is stupid. Especially when there have been examples of a President who admitted to actively protesting the war and avoiding the draft.
