On top of his old, white plagiarism and serial young-girl-touching problems, Creepy Joe Biden also has a draft evasion problem, according to an InsideSources report.
Naturally, the outlet also attacks President Trump over his own Vietnam-era deferment, but comparing Trump to Biden in this regard, as you will see, is like comparing a gun to a tomato.
According the report, after he graduated college in 1968, Biden became eligible for the draft, which could have landed him in combat in Vietnam. What saved him, what earned him a 1-Y draft deferment, was asthma…
Asthma, y’all.
Asthma.
Don’t get me wrong, asthma can be debilitating. Chronic asthma is the worst; it can disable a person. If Biden legitimately suffered a serious asthma problem, his draft deferment is perfectly legitimate.
Here’s the problem, though…
While Biden was scoring a deferment for “asthma as a teenager,” he was — get this — also scoring touchdowns as a teenager.
Biden played football in high school and once went so far as to lie about playing football for the University of Delaware — even though he didn’t, but Biden is the kind of liar who lies about such things.
What’s more, InsideSources points out that in his autobiography, Biden makes no mention of asthma, but brags about being “active in intramural sports” while in college, and “recounts an active childhood [and] football exploits in high school.”
Worse still, during one summer home from college, as Biden himself has admitted, he worked as a lifeguard, which requires vigorous health in order to pass that test, including a very healthy set of lungs.

One incident from that summer stands out: How Biden had to wrap a six-foot length of metal chain around his arm to face off against a knife-wielding local tough who went by the name “Corn Pop.”
“You might cut me, Corn Pop, but I’m going to wrap this chain around your head before you do,” Biden told him. Strong words, but he was a healthy, high school football player who could back them up. Biden and Corn Pop resolved their differences without violence and, according to Biden, became poolside friends.
Just six years later, at the height of the fighting in Vietnam, that same poolside athlete avoided mandatory military service due to “asthma as a teenager.”
…”asthma as a teenager.”
Yep, healthy enough to play football and qualify as a lifeguard, which is no easy task, but still 1-Y when swimming is one of the most strenuous exercises around.
And why haven't we heard this all the previous times Creepy Joe has run?
Hillary.
Biden will go any way the Lefty wind blows.
That’s all that matters to them.
He’s the nominee. Period.
LOL!
The Left Wing, 25 year old air head, crowd has no idea of the issues with serving in Viet Nam - To them Viet Nam is old history.
I don’t think his base cares if he evaded military service in Vietnam. In the first place, they wouldn’t know anything about Vietnam or the war and if they did they would say so what.
In fact, like it or not, as Vietnam is fading in the public memory, most won’t notice or care
Vietnam would have sure turned out different had she been in the marines!
Hi.
Between you and me, I’m glad he he wasn’t inducted into the Army. Why? Because he would have gotten someone killed.
Imho.

Breitbart is reaching too far here.
Most asthma is highly controllable and rarely chronic. Generally it is an allergic or stress related reaction.
I played football through college but had rare spats of wheezing.
I passed the Navy flight program medical (no wheezing in the previous 6 months), but not the Marine Air (no wheezing in the previous 2 years).
Biden has a lot of defects, lets pick something better to complain about.
I don’t know about the requirements for the military but it’s quite possible to be a world class athlete with asthma.
I didn’t see it the first time I looked at it.
Heh.
Oh goodness, that is FUNNY!!
Yes, so when they bring up that POTUS had a bone spur deferment it can’t be used against him.... in a sane world.
I think there will be more than enough to attack Biden on without comparing which candidate’s draft dodge was more obvious.
Draft deferments only matter for Republican candidates for office. Democrats get a free pass on any criticism. Just ask Whoopie Goldberg.
