Trump took ROTC in High School in NY. Landing a Navy vessel at a dock in DaNang is not same same as serving a year at a time there or flying a jet off a carrier and bombing the north through SAMS. The same is true of pilots out of Thailand who flew up north and others supported friends of mine on the ground in Laos.Trump was in college for 4 years and that =’S 1S or 2S deferments, 1S is a shorter term student deferment then 2S. In 64-66 I and many of my friends went in the service. I could have easily gone to Germany and never served a day in Vietnam as my father got a number of Dr’s sons sent to Germany or Korea. Donald Trump could have easily have been assigned to a NY NG unit and never left the USA with his father’s pull. Trump was not a draft dodger. He did it legally and his lottery number was 356.
One of the reasons Elvis was sent to Germany. But he didn’t refuse to serve or dodge his duty to the US.
