“Actually dear friend, Mr Trump received 4 (that’s right,four) deferments. He was eventually classified as 1-A, took his induction physical, and reclassified as 4-F (medically unfit)”

Trump’s deferments were four successive 2-S student deferments, which every college student could receive. It was the most common deferment during the Vietnam war and could be renewed as long as you were in school. Four deferments was typical.

When Trump graduated in 1968 he was reclassified 1-A, then 1-Y, where he remained until 1972. 1-Y means you are suitable for callup in a national emergency.

When Trump went through the draft lottery he received 356, high enough that short of a major war he wasn’t going to receive a notice.

TY for the details. It looks like Trump is not the shirker some of us think he is. Again, thank you.
