What a terrible way to die...for something and someone that was completely against your free will.



Here is what being drafted into war puts into jeopardy.

Life - Much higher risk of dying if you are sent to combat.
Liberty - Forcing you to take a job against your will, goes in the face of the liberty of choice.
Pursuit of Happiness - Harder to pursue happiness (or anything) when choices are taken away from you.

If you choose it, so be it. If others choose it, then the state is choosing your path. How is that different than the state choosing your career (ala Soviet Union)?

What? The "Champagne Squadron" was tough and potentially dangerous duty! If Mexico would have attacked Houston, GWB would have been the first to enter the fray. He should have been awarded a Purple Heart for all the hangovers he had to endure.
Even hungover he had far fewer crashes than a brain tumor for a Senator did, and he avoided capture without a crash too!

There's already a Bill Clinton airport.


How did Clinton "dodge the draft"? He was in the pool and had a high number that was never selected. President Bone Spurs on the other hand...

Don't worry, Trump will never stand for this! No airports are going to be named after a black man with an Islamic or Islamic sounding name under Trump's watch, blee dat!

The Senator was junior so this would be the 3rd.

I'd dodge a draft in a heartbeat. The government owns enough of me already.

Look up Trump’s birthday.
Look up the selected draft dates.

Trump was never even selected. He didn’t dodge shite, because there was nothing for him to dodge.

Trumps draft number was 356

Clinton’s was 311

Bush’s was 327


None of those guys were getting drafted simply based on their numbers
