Draft Dodger Donald

[host to a Singullarity]

Trump came of age for the draft during the Vietnam War. In an interview in
2011 on New York station WNYW,[33] he stated, "I actually got lucky because
I had a very high draft number."[34] Selective Service records retrieved by
The Smoking Gun website from the National Archives show that, although Trump
did eventually receive a high selective service lottery number in 1969, he
was not drafted earlier because of four student deferments (2-S) while
attending college, and after receiving a medical deferment (1-Y, later
converted to 4-F) obtained in 1968 after his college graduation, prior to
the lottery being initiated.[35] Trump was deemed fit for service after a
military medical examination in 1966, and was briefly classified as 1-A by a
local draft board shortly before his 1968 medical disqualification.[36]
Trump attributed his medical deferment to "heel spurs" in both feet,
according to a 2015 biographer,[30] but told an Iowa campaign audience he
suffered from a spur in one foot, though he could not remember which
one.[36]

I'm not a Trump supporter and I am a vet, but how is Trump any different
that anybody else who did not want to get their ass shot off in that war
that we *lost* and was purely political and had *nothing* to do with
freedom ?
