He is a draft dodger.

He lied about having bone spurs to avoid the draft.

“He lied about having bone spurs to avoid the draft. “
He didn’t lie. The spurs were found during his draft physical. Can be quite painful

And they just took his word for it? Why didn’t all the draft dodgers claim to have bone spurs?

He failed the physical due to bone spurs. Some seem to imply the doc was paid off although that is not confirmed. So, some consider him a draft dodger. That being said, our Vietnam Veterans are the bravest generation of all. 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!

He, along with every other 4 year college student his age, received deferments for the 4 years of college. When he was out of college, they found a bone spur or something that deemed him unfit for service.

THAT is not draft dodging.

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.

Really? Since you like to make it appear that you are a medical expert on Trump's medical records, please provide the evidence supporting your diagnosis and resultant supposition that "He lied about having bone spurs to avoid the draft."

We'll wait.

This is a brain fart of yours, what proof do you have and why should we listen to you making up things to attack Trump out of thin air?
The facts in the case are that he had a medical cause of ineligibility. The armed forces gets to decide if you are fit for duty and they don’t take the draftee’s word for anything.

wideawake won’t be providing any proof for her claim that:

“He lied about having bone spurs to avoid the draft.”

Because there is no proof.

Trump received four 2S deferrals while he was a student, one a year from 1964 to 1968.

When he graduated in 1968 he was reclassified 1-A.

Shortly after that he was reclassified 1-Y, available to be drafted in a national emergency.

No doctor ever gave a Trump a letter declaring him unfit for service. That is simply a lie being propagated by some Trump haters.

The lowest rating Trump received was 1-Y. He remained 1-Y until 1972 when the Selective Service itself abolished the 1-Y class and reclassified all 1-Ys as 4-F.
