re: McCain "I will repeal Obamacare" compilation

There are reasons that medical deferments are granted. It is because someone does not meet medical standards for service.

Sorry for ruining the narrative baw.

the bone spurs deferment makes the lottery numbers irrelevant

not sorry for ruining the lottery narrative, baw

You are racking up the down votes. Here's another for you, McCain was a RINO and let his personal hate out weight what was good for the country and what he had promised he would do.

No hero in that...

He may have even really meant it too till TRUMP wounded his pride then McCain showed us all how petty he was.

One of you Trump knob-slobberers tells a complete BS lie about Trump’s draft history. I correct the falsity, and your response is now “no one wanted to go?”

If Trump would just decide on a story and stick with it, this might not even be an issue. He is just constitutionally-incapable of telling the truth about anything that might be conceived as negative about himself.

Again I say, who gives a shite? I don't think Obama told a truth about himself since the day he drew a breath, do you have a stock pile of posts showing where you called him out?


That was, of course, rhetorical.

That is draft dodging, “baw.”

LOL. No it isn't. That's retarded. It's a fricking medical diagnosis

Quite a few of them like ACA and use it

Of course, who doesn’t like free or severely subsidized shite

So don’t know why you threw this in as some justification.

No really, just stfu.

The first draft lottery of Vietnam was 12/69. Trump was 1Y and eligible for over 2 years. In those years there were at least two lotteries where he just wasn’t selected. By the time he classified 4F in 1972, he was 26 years old and the draft was abolished less than a year later.

You clearly have zero understanding of the Vietnam-era draft.

Until Dec-1969, the lottery did not exist, and everyone in age range was classified by default as 1-A .... susceptible to being drafted, absent a deferment or exemption. One of the most common such deferment was 1-S for students. Trump took advantage of those deferments until he graduated from Penn in May-1968, at which time he was reclassified back to 1-A (top eligibility).

Trump (well, his wealthy family) then found a doctor to claim he had “bone spurs,” and got himself re-classified 1-Y ... which was basically “temporarily” unavailable for service (in practice, a 1-Y almost never got reclassified back to 1-A), “for medical reasons in this case. (4-F was a permanent classification). As a 1-Y, Trump was effectively immune from the draft.

The draft lottery was implemented more than a year after Trump got himself reclassified as 1-Y. As such, Trump’s lottery numbers were irrelevant ... because he was safe as a 1-Y, a classification that he retained until that classification was abolished and all 1-Y classified individuals were changed to 4-F.

AGAIN:



You will now argue with everything I have just explained to you ... like Trump insisting that Robert Duvall loved the smell of Agent Orange ... because you are a Trump sycophant.

Well, I nailed that prediction.

1-Y individuals were NEVER drafted during Vietnam, because it was not a declared war or national emergency.

Medical deferments, both temporary and permanent, were available for people with various disabilities, illness, etc. A 1Y was the most common, typically either temporary, or you weren't so disabled that you couldn't be called to do some clerical job in time of national emergency. LINK

You are one of those people who thinks he understands an issue when he has read a single Gateway Pundit piece on the topic, aren’t you?

Like Trump with Agent Orange, you are utterly convinced you are correct. It is a bit sad.
