This same group of people celebrates figures like Muhammad Ali for doing the exact same thing.

Weren't they causing all kinds of riots stateside in protest of that war?

Tone deaf hypocrisy at its purest form.

The people who I’ve seen say this stuff never served themselves.

It's low-hanging fruit and they've been throwing a hissy fit about him since 2015.

The bigger issue is that the draft has been gone for 50 years yet it's still a thing to be pissed about.

They constantly throw things out, especially sexual behaviors, that they think will divide the right against itself. And yet the promote the most deviant behavior daily. It’s their lifelong hypocrisy.

And theyre the ones who spit on veterans when they got back from serving where they didn't go voluntarily.

To be fair, the Right gave Bubba hell about it for years. To much the same effect. (None.)

Because it's Trump and they will find anything they can to obsess over and criticize him for.

"Draft Dodger Rag". by Pete Seeger pretty much sums up the war culture at the time trump would have been in the lottery.

My knowledge with the draft is first hand

Ali didn't dodge. Doesn't mean you have to agree with what he did, but it's not dodging.

He just straight up refused to go and was ready to accept the consequences of doing so if he lost his case in court. His was a political protest.

He didn't try to get deferred or claim some BS medical exemption or run away to Canada or have someone high up pull strings for him. That's dodging.

Because the Left is full of shite. At that time, if you went to college, you received an automatic deferment from the military.

The left sucks

It would be reasonable criticism if Trump was a war hawk but he clearly isn’t so it’s just typical Dem venom.

My uncle volunteered for two tours as a medic and I’m amazed at his courage.

But I don’t fault anyone for doing whatever they could to avoid that bullshite war.

Agreed and JFK was killed so LBJ could jump into that war and his buddies could make millions selling weapons. Democrats have always been the war mongers.

I can’t image being a parent or a kid between 1964-1975. Wondering if your child will be selected. Will your child want to serve their country knowing they would go.
