I agree about the draft dodgers like Clinton, but you seem to be casting aspersions on guys who took deferments they were eligible for. I don’t blame Trump and Biden. My Dad took the deferment for married with children in WWII. He got drafted after he got divorced and he reported for duty so maybe you shouldn’t be so quick to disparage people.
Not at all, I said that Clinton was a draft dodger because he absolutely cheated to not get drafted with that letter business and the colonel (I forget the details), I said that the other two were draft evaders because they sought out a legal but shady way to pay their way out with their private doctors with sudden medical issues that no one believes and which were only a sudden problem for that one desperate moment when their other deferments ran out.
Don’t create out of thin air something that I never said and that your father’s case has no relevance to.
