I think each deferrment needs to be looked at on its own merits. They truly are not all the same. I lived through that era, joined in 1970, and I get a gut feel when I read some of the backgrounds on deferrments.

This one sounds hokey. After multiple educational deferrments another deferrment for asthma for an athlete. The year is 1968. I’m telling you that my bullshit meter is pegged all the way into the red.

“After multiple educational deferrments another deferrment for asthma for an athlete.”

I don’t know about Biden, but plenty of athletes have asthma.

I agree with what you posted, but I do not think it is something worth trying to present as a negative for the campaign.

Clinton truly is a dd and he remains one of their party leaders.

There is so much really good stuff for us to hit Biden with we can leave his 1Y status in the dustbin.

Plus, Biden has a kid in the military (a lawyer, and we all remember how the lawyers in our patrols always insisted on walking point) and that is the current situation which trumps anything he did back in the 60's.
