“Scroll down the the 7th paragraph and it starts telling about all the deferments he got. “
All of them legit. I went through a draft physical, and it was pretty through.

Explain to me why draft dodging the Vietnam War was a bad thing. BTW full disclosure I was one of the last people drafted at the end of 1972.
I saw 250 men of my age come back home in boxes every week fighting a war that wasn't fought to win allowing the enemy to be supplied in an open harbor with no fear of destruction. Suicide patrols into the jungle at night led by 90 day 2nd LT wonders who didn't have clue. I dodged it for 4 years with a college deferment that wasn't available to everybody. And at the end of the day after our troops were out the democrats pulled the rug out under South Vietnam who promised air support when N.Vietnam broke the cease-fire agreement by invading the South.

Been there done that, fought and Bled for this Country, and This Viet Nam Vet and thousands just like me Support TRUMP. The Medical and School deferments are a common thing from the Viet Nam war. We have no problem with it just like GWs National Guard stint. The bone spurs kept a lot of People out from the era . A lot went to Canada that stings worse them all of them together.Unless you have standing then shut your traps about it.

Ironically one of these ads was put out by a Mitt Romney PAC.

They served knowing once there, our government would abandon them and if they were lucky enough to return home, they would be spit on. Yet they served with honor and dignity. That folks, is a true American Hero! I kind of doubt that that was their mindset, but that's just me.
For whatever the hell it's worth, the thought about public support and USG support was VERY MUCH on our minds in GWI. Thankfully, it was very much different for us.

It's sad to see some of the veterans I served with "rising" to the level of John Kerry and John McCain.
Lying by omission accomplishes the same level of disloyalty that the liar John Kerry established at his Winter soldier false witness fraud.
The liar, coward and war criminal was Kerry himself, and not those he accused.

Dirty Romney
Any candidate who aligns with Romney is just as bad.

If deferments we’re not ok, they would not have them.
Did Cruz volunteer to serve in the military?
Canadian or American?

In 1974 they still had a ‘supplemental draft system’ in place by lottery birthdate although the draft had ended. My birthday was #8 on the list so I would have been drafted no doubt.

Guys did not get out of the draft by “lying about bone spurs’. If it had been that simple, few would have been drafted. There had to medical evidence discovered by or verified by Selective Service physicians.
