You admit you’d be a draft dodger like Trump.

Would you have gone to Canada, or would you have gotten a doctor to lie for you so that some other mother’s son would have gone in your place?

See, that’s the thing about draft dodgers: it isn’t just that you cheated and didn’t go. It is never that simple. It is that another man went because you didn’t.

I'm no fan of Trump, but that's a poor argument to make. If everyone dodged the draft then those @ssholes in Washington who got the U.S. involved in that stupid, pointless sh!t would have had to go fight the war themselves.

I probably would have left or figured something else out. Vietnam was a waste.

The State forcing me, at the point of a gun, to go somewhere we had no business being and fighting because some politician somewhere thought it was a good idea is more immoral than "dodging" the draft.
