Yeah.

Minor medical condition inflated to keep you out of the rice paddies in ‘67?

Sounds like another scam to me and I heard a lot of them back then (like the guy who had a car run over his foot so he could flunk the induction physical the week after he graduated from college).

Mitch the Dodger! Sending other guys off to fight and die while he poses in DC!

This makes me sick. My brother had to get a note from an eye doctor in order to be able to enlist in the Army. I don’t remember the exact situation, but I do remember my parents saying he had to go to a specialist and be cleared to enlist. That was back in ‘64 or ‘65. He was in the infantry, and in Vietnam ‘66 - ‘67. Nobody’s left in my family to ask now. I was 16 or 17 at the time.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said on Tuesday he supports the use of vaccinations to prevent diseases, drawing on his personal experience with polio, which he contracted as a two-year old.

Not exactly a fan of McConnel, in fact the opposite is true, but.

Recently, when Trump helped him up the steps after a news conference it was mentioned he ( McConnel) once had polio...Not exactly a minor medical condition.
