replublicans dont relize that there is a shit ton of left wingers in the military i know a few cmmunists my self but they cant show it

Lifeguard and football player Joe Biden was granted five deferments as a student before he received a medical exemption for asthma
TALowKY
Biden was accused of the same due to asthma, though he was super active in sports. Someone said something about non combat roles?
TALowKY
Note, I'm not accusing the same, but were there medic roles in Nam that he would have qualified for even with asthma?
DoomGuysCousinKenneth
What about the one who had asthma but was fit enough to play high-school football and be a lifeguard?
fredbloxx
after all the insults trump levied at the military that's not a surprise.
EarlyBrown
Trump got 4 med (and a student) deferments. Biden got 5 meds (and a student). Neither had the balls to serve.
DigiT00l
Well, Biden had actual medical grounds to be disqualified
AngryTeacher
My 95 year old grandpa's nickname for Trump is "that draft dodging son of a bitch."

I think that's the red-faced anger showing through the makeup.

One *said* he had bone spurs. Jury's out on whether or not he was lying.

And another one had "asthma".

Anyone else read this as “all gave some some”?

You didn't read it correctly

A comma would have been nice, yes.

I had to reread it because I thought I had a stroke.

Biden got 5 deferrals as a student (beat Trump there too, lol) and then was disqualified for asthma. He was a lifeguard and football player.
Gutpilegutezeit
A LOT of collage students got draft deferrals.
CmdrMittenz
Yes he did, as a student. And he did have asthma so he was then exempted. Literally what is so hard to understand?
Harryteeters
Lol look how mad he's gettin! He's so mad right now! "Biden got 5 myeh myeh myeh" ahahahaha
Hereagain
He did. But he doesn't insult our military, or claim to be better than them at military decisions. Vietnam was a terrible war, and I don't /
Hereagain
Blame anyone for not wanting to go. But the shit talking is what I have a problem with.
TrumpSuxIvankastoeslikechillidogs
Oh, and Biden's son was military, while Trump's son stole money from kids with cancer.
BennyGaga
Hey, he shot a bunch of endangered animals too!

There's a difference between being disqualified for actual health issues, and making up that you have "bone spurs" to get out of service.
Jt68686
Asthma vs bone spurs, 4 deferments, disrespecting military, saying he likes people that weren't captured.. ofc he lost military votes
Piegiver
Biden won. Stay mad.
TrumpSuxIvankastoeslikechillidogs
People with asthma play sports all the time...... Source: Am a high school teacher that can see student
Drunktinyoctupuswantstofight
It’s good for people with asthma to play sports. Helps lung function.
Counterfit
Also play wind instruments. My father has asthma and plays tuba
TrumpSuxIvankastoeslikechillidogs
Medical information that is on their info pages for safety reasons. Also, yes, students got deferred, everyone knows this.
hesbeginningtobelieve
I hate everything about trump, but if my country tried to force me to go fight their war I would do anything to avoid it. Draft is wrong.
ChodeStool
100%
TrustMeImADog
Trump was schooled at a military academy, graduating in 1964. Smacks of "stolen valour" to me.
pseudopseudonym
Yeah I don't really blame Trump for draft dodging that war, I blame him for acting like he's some sort of badass and shitting on the dead.
chrisjohnson76
To be fair, a draft is about equality. Are you really saying we shouldn't have fought ww2 it we didn't get volunteers
hesbeginningtobelieve
..... yes? No one should be forced to fight a fucking war. Governments and borders are literally made-up things.
CAWriter
It wasn’t that he got out of going. It was his attitude toward the military and the fact that he thought he was some sort of military genius
hesbeginningtobelieve
Ya I know, he truly is a giant piece of shit.
chetnixandflill
Most of us would try to dodge it but most of us would have respect for those who went.
shweatyPIE
Totally agree, was a political war that had dubious beginnings,should have been volunteers only. But trumps a spineless ahole.
TheCacklingJackal
There are non-violent roles in the military no? At the end of the day a draft is a last ditch effort to survive, not to attack.
Jooud707
You can always choose to morally abdicate or whatever the actual phrasing is, at least in modern times.
IceCreamYouScream
Viet Nam was different
TheCacklingJackal
Fair enough. Maybe it can be restricted to prevent misuse.
LADOW
A last ditch effort to survive those horrible Vietnamese and their absolute domination of the USA? Glad we had the draft back then!
TheCacklingJackal
Heck, I'd support mandatory service. Everyone should know the cost of war so we all choose to avoid it at all costs.
franklydizzy
Honestly a mandatory two years of service to be taken between age 18 to 35 would be fair IMO. As long as we had universal healthcare as well
TheCacklingJackal
I'd support it. Maybe remove medical exemptions while you're at it. General bone spurs can work a desk job.
franklydizzy
Yeah that's the idea I had. There is a job for almost everyone.
TheBeerDoctor
Yeah Vietnam was definitely not a last ditch effort to survive... not even close

Really love the linking to the comment right above this haha
TheCacklingJackal
It's the exact same point XD I'm not about to repeat my responses 3 different times hah! I hadn't thought about Vietnam.
Chimponzoo
I am a very conservative person, and I'll tell you, conscription is about cannon fodder - nothing else. That is why college got you out.
TheCacklingJackal
That's not really the case anymore. We have drones, planes and a bunch of other tech. It's not really about bum rushing anymore.
LADOW
Dude, your military fantasy land sounds wonderful. But you can put down the commenting and go back to Call of Duty.
TheCacklingJackal
I'm confused, what point are you trying to make? I don't play Call of Duty but I assume it has to do with videogames?
TheCacklingJackal
That said, if it was the case, I don't wanna be the one to tell Jhonny's mom: "We used Jhonny as a bullet shield because he can't do math."
Chimponzoo
Yes, this is very true, and there is no draft going on right now either. The US military is the largest all volunteer organization.
