You mean like Dick Cheney and 3/4 of the other young males back then? I have a funny story for you. I had to register for the draft (Selective Service System) after I had served two enlistments in the US Army. Explain that.

Big deal. Who wanted to die in a war our Presidents felt was unwindable? Not me, I avoided that disaster too.

Walker was a boy scout who elected not to serve. Ted Cruz wasn’t even that. Romney hid in France tododge the draft and jeb hid in Mexico.

If you were old enough, you’d remember that Clinton dodged the draft, said he loathed the military, and got elected. Ever since then, it’s a non-issue.

Was it legal to get student deferment? Did Trump do anything illegal? Was Trump in favor of the stupidest war this country ever fought...Vietnam....50,000 brave soldiers dead, hundreds of thousands injured, and national debt took a quantum jump. What do we have to show for it? Vietnam run by communists?

Virtually every male student around his age also received yearly deferments at least until graduation from college. Made a good incentive to stay in school.
In the late 60s, there was a cry that a disproportionate number of black males were being drafted/sent to Vietnam but that was because they did not go to college.
