1st,, I'm not defending The Donald,,
The Draft,, as I remember it:
There is a bunch of shiite going around about The Donald and his draft deferments.. Well I was drafted in March 68 so I think I can add some content, you might not like...
Class 2-S student deferments were freebees to anyone that registered in college. It lapsed at the end of the semester and you needed to reapply when you registered for the next semester. Probably
EVERYONE of my HS male class had a 2S at one time or the other.
Also,, the medical deferment?? The 1-Y classification "
Registrant available for military service, but qualified for military only in the event of war or national emergency" came a month after Trump underwent an “Armed Forces Physical Examination” No idea what it was for, but as stated the deferment was issued by the draft board AFTER they did the exam.
In Oct 68, 50K kids a month were being drafted.. A 1Y was not a common rating because you needed a doctor to agree. More often than not, "draft dodgers" went for the "conscientious objector, IV-W", IIIA - married with kids, or went to Canada.
Here is a list of the draft board codes:

On McCain:
For those that think The Donald is bad mouthing McCain with
lies.. IF you look around there are McCain problems:
1)He has had a lingering problem with his POW internment and his personal actions while in prison. He was tortured repeatedly, so he deserves some slack, but like Kerry, there are those that, to this day do not like what he did. I DO NOT KNOW IF THIS VIDEO IS VERIFIABLE.

The fact that his dad was a Navy Admiral does not help. Many peers think he was given preferential treatment..
2)McCain supported Kerry
AGAINST the Swift Boat effort.. For this, I give him much scorn.. McCain currently is not an admirer of Kerry because of the Iranian deal, but nobody with 1/2 a brain does..
