Trump and Romney. Both are cowardly draft-dodgers.

I'm looking at his SS record shown on post #1, and the only question I have is what were the reasons for the 1-Y in 1968 then re-classed to 4-F in 1972 (when the Draft ended, BTW)

From 64 to 68, he had the standard student deferment except for one semester in 66 when he was classed 1-A and would have been eligible to be drafted. I'd assume he wasn't carrying enough credits to qualify as a full time student at that point. He apparently finished his undergrad work in 4 years unlike the real draft dodgers who just stayed in school for the duration.

My only question is why the 1-Y in 1968. Did he really have some medical issue or was that a scam?

BTW. 1-Ys could still be drafted if the military really needed warm bodies. I don't think it ever happened during Vietnam but it did during WWII.
