Heard some possible flame out material this morning. He got deferments because of bone spurs in his foot. A reporter asked him on the fly "which foot" Donald didn't know/couldn't remember.
Odd because if a bone spur got you out of that war isn't that a lifetime memory??
Someones going to dig into that one. Think he faked it??
I assume that you are not a male old enough to have been subject to the draft in the Vietnam era. Basically for anyone subject to be drafted after 1967 it was painfully apparent you would be sent as cannon fodder in a foolish war that the USA could not (or would not, depending perhaps on your political viewpoint) win. Damn few people were like John Kerry-nearly everyone of any political view did anything and everything to avoid the draft/war. Look at Cheney's record, GWB, etc. The only place a lot of us drew the line was whether to flee to Canada if we got drafted. Fortunately for me I got a very high draft number-best lottery I ever lost.
No male who lived through that era will give two hoots about how Trump ducked the war. At most, those of us who are anti-war view the Cheneys of this world as chickenhawk hypocrits.
Vietnam won't be Trump's achilles heel-saying something stupid about religion (like communion is nothing but a nice snack) will be.
Meanwhile I'll continue to enjoy this poor man's version of George Carlin.
