A lot of wealthy kids went the same route so the draft only caught patriots and poor people. That’s not a ringing endorsement of The Donald.
I honestly don’t give a damn.
If we don’t secure our border then there will be nothing left to fight over.
The professional politicians (except for maybe Cruz) have neither the will or the courage to stand up to the media or the GOPE.
I don’t want someone that Rove and Bohner like for our next president.
Just my take.
They turned down someone I know because his knee clicked. I do not believe they would take someone with bone spurs.
At age 13, after behavior problems led to his dismissal, his parents sent him to the New York Military Academy (NYMA), hoping to direct his energy and assertiveness in a positive manner.[25]
Emails and birth certificates we cannot find.
Old photos of Trump in a military uniform? Why, I have those right here ...
oh, good grief.
He is a stalking horse for some other candidate and ones wise enough to use him. He isn’t a serious candidate, but he is fun.
It says a ton that Establishment types are attacking him so hard. They don’t like the issues he is putting out there.
GO Donald! Ride the horse as long as you can and get the major issues that irritate the Establishment (DemoRepublicans)!
I am thankful he brought up the out of control immigration issue.
I don’t G.A.S. about whether he wore a uniform or not. Plenty of traitorous bastards served in our armed forces and now pollute our government. I’m not planning on voting for him, but I’m happy he’s willing to fight, now. Unlike most of the treacherous Republican RINO bastards who can’t open their mouths without apologizing for being Republicans....
... and then after his medical deferment expired, he registered and, luckily for him Trump was given a high lottery number. Already been posted earlier today.

So?
Did Jeb do the national guard like his brother?
It is a source of ceaseless amazement at how many normally sound and intelligent conservatives have joined the cheering squad for this pro-abortion, pro gun grabbing, pro amnesty (until a few months ago), pro-sodomy, serial adulterer and political chameleon.
It boggles the mind. All I can say is that I will NEVER under any circumstances vote for that man.
A minor injury for a foot soldier? Guys were disqualified for flat feet. And many millions of draft age guys obtained student deferments for four or more years.
Lots of folks blabbering about those years who have no clue what they are talking about.
Obama never served !
John McCain served his country with honor. The mesure of a Soldier is the sacrifice they give of themselves for others. To that end, John McCain is no friend to his fellow veterans. He has long ago lost touch with normal working class Americans from which most of the generations of our armed forces come.
He may be a hero to the political elite, but no longer to me .
Careful.. The Trumpettes are standing by their man!
Is he still frightening the crap out of liberals?
Vetted.
And the same as other patriotic republicans such as Dick Cheney, Mitt Romney, Jeb Bush, Karl Rove, etc.
Hey, bone spurs got my first husband ejected from the Navy after they did the surgery to remove them. He couldn’t wear their shoes and they let him go. He was not happy. Had counted on the G.I. bill to help him with college.
Frankly the mind rebels at the pointless sanctimony of the infantile Right.
I know one thing. If Trump was POTUS in
time of conflict and I had a son or daughter
in the military then I would constantly be
in the state of cringe at the thought of
capture.
