Do you even read the articles you post?

“on September 17, 1968, he underwent a military physical assessment which he failed because of the bone spurs.”

Was Ted Cruz draft eligible during the Vietnam war?

I wasn't ether, but I did my four years. Maybe they did not allow Canadian citizens to serve in the US military at that time, I don't know.

War may be hell, but peace time is a bitch.

No, Ted Cruz was a baby in CANADA during the end of the Vietnam War. His parents didn’t formally apply for him to became an American citizen until 1986! He was still a CANADIAN in 2014!

If Donald Trump had been drafted, he would have ended up in the Supply Corps. Probably building and running barracks in the rear area, or Officer Clubs stateside. Get real. You know how the military works.

They don’t draft three year olds - last time I checked.

Ted Cruz was eligible to volunteer.
We now have all volunteer military now,
in case you have not heard.

Cruz could have volunteered for the military. He didn’t. In fact none of them did, did they. So there will not be too much talk about this.

Was Ted Cruz draft eligible during the Vietnam war?

No, he was living in Canada as a kid.

Just Trump who is 69, Bush comes in close at age 62. All the rest are under the age for Vietnam War. Which was the last draft issued.

Google has a ton of articles on Trump’s draft dodging for a foot injury during Military School.
