Not doing anything to avoid it and not being drafted is not being a draft dodger or a draft evader, it just means not being drafted.
And football player. He literally played college ball all 4 years.
And drove a semi truck.
Reagan had 9 years total of Reserve and active, five years in a reserve cavalry unit he joined in 1937.
If it weren’t for double standards, Dems would have no standards at all.
“…Vietnam was then later lost by Democrats in the Congress. (See for example, our withdrawal in Afghanistan.)
Thanks.
And hanging out with 25 year old low-level KGB agent Vladimir Putin when he wasn’t hanging out with the gay boys. He’s had so many colorful things he’s done.
President Reagan enlisted in the Army Reserve in 1937, was commissioned a 2d Lieutenant of Cavalry the same year. He was called to active duty in April, 1942, and was later assigned the the 1st Motion Picture Unit in Hollywood that made training films for all branches of the U.S. military during the war. He was discharged in Dec, 1945

When Biden was in the A Shau Valley, he was heard saying
“lf you don’t want to pull
on the little people. No sweat.
Don’t use your weapon. All l want from
anybody is...to get their ass in the
grass with the rest of us.
You don’t have to like it.
But you have to show up.”
I think he was referring to Trump.
When I went for my draft physical, along with a couple of high school classmates, on of them showed a letter from his doctor saying he had an undescended testicle. The doc read the letter, checked him out and said “Don’t worry son, you can still get through basic and fight in Vietnam with only one ball.” Or words to that effect, as that event was almost 60 years ago.
“There I was, rifle in hand, on the landing craft under heavy fire, headed for the beach side by side with my Lieutenant Tom Hanks, when I remembered that I left my sunscreen lotion and towel back on the ship...no joke.”
Are you certain he said “ship” and not a similar four letter word?
Unfortunately, leftists, too have served in the military. To me as a veteran their voices aren’t any louder or more correct than mine.
Isn’t asthma was a permanent medical condition?
It’ll be interesting to read more about these vets, when their background articles hit the web.
Sounds like a good idea, but I figure an XX-genes VEEP would get more (lib female) votes.
I don't know ...
I do know that it's quite hypocritical for them to throw rocks at Mr. Trump's history of student and medical deferments, while ignoring Mr Biden's identical history.
They're democrats. Lies, deceptions, and hypocrisy are their natural mode of communication.
Biden never served, but he does know how to give a sh*t!
