Fake medical deferments ARE draft dodging . During the Vietnam War there were many doctors in Philadelphia that would purposely puncture your eardrum to enable you to get a medical deferment . Some were supposedly on the staff at the University of Pennsylvania .
Always interesting with these politicians, especially the Demo’rats. When my brother younger brother was drafted in 1967, he was almost totally deaf in both ears. They accused him of faking it and drafted him anyway. Now they have to pay for his hearing aids for the rest of his life...small price to pay. Too bad he wasn’t a Demo’rat politician, he could have gotten out of it altogether.
