    And certainly he was far from being the only one. "Be the first one on your block to have your boy sent home in a box"

    He got five deferments -- one for each year he avoided the draft.

    Trump's almost 70, so our patriotic great American hero would have turned 18 in 1964. He would have gotten deferments in 1964, 1965, 1966, 1967, and 1968--the height of the war.

    Consider your argument crushed.

    Again, deferments are valid and not "dodging" the draft. A real draft dodger would be someone like Slick Willie, or those who shot themselves in the foot, or those who went to Canada.

    Meet rugged individualist patriotic american Republican hero, ted Nugent:

    On one hand you say clinton is a draft dodger and on the other you say that deferments are cool.

    You, sir, are tripping hard.

    I said deferments are valid, not cool. Read much? Clinton was definitely a draft dodger, so were many others including Nugent.

    I was drafted in 1966, I thought the Vietnam war was political and stupid, but I knew that what was going on with dodging was not right. By the way, try not to talk down to your obvious betters!

    What is a masculine man?
    If you have to ask, you ain't one.

    And that bit about neoliberals is nonsense.

    Slick Will skipped the country on his, He did not honor the agreement that he made.

    Remember it was the Democrats that were Spitting on the Vietnam Vets as they returned home. It is very clear how they view those that fight and die for the country.

    You can't make the case that Clinton was a draft dodger and give trump a pass at the same time without being a hypocrite.

    He didn't skip the country, Clinton--also an elite fullbright scholar--won an extremely prestigious Rhodes scholarship.

    Trump's was just another student deferment.
