You're really in a life-long slump bringing out that 'Donnie Draft Dodger' mumbo jumbo!
We had 4 options in the Viet era:
1) get drafted which was classed as (US) 2 years duty
2) join the National Guard guard like I did classified (NG) 6 months active, 6 years of monthly duties
3) sign up for 3 years classed as (RA).
4) Scurry north to Canada
Trump was 2 or 3 years younger than me & kept his student deferment until
he got a high draft number like every other sensible student. If we accept the
definition of a draft dodger as “anyone who took advantage of deferments to avoid the draft,”
doesn’t that include President Bill Clinton? It would seem that those who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.
I wonder what you would have done in the Viet era, Canada may have made sense; Yes? No?
Lots of leftwingers took that way out.
As it turned out, Donnie Draft Dodger didn’t even have to make for Canada. He just exploited the system and then went on to claim that avoiding STDs was “his Vietnam”.
Considering that the right routinely calls Clinton a draft dodger, your desperation tactic falls flat.
