To come one a story of some kind of bone spurs in order to dodge this draft and frankly for those families who lost loved ones, who were drafted or those who volunteered, i would find i want insulting. my own father served two tours in vietnam. you said, you mentioned his bone spurs, a medical deferment, student deferments and then a medical deferment for bone spurs. you say on twitter he should have received a medical deferment, not for the burn spurs, they should have been for that yellow streak you say down his back. are you calling the from the a coward? yes, he is a coward. he was a coward when it came time to serve in vietnam. he used his privilege in every way he could to avoid serving five different times and five other young men went to war in his place. how many of them lost their lives. obviously, when we talk about vietnam. you know that is an issue that is fraught for a generation of americans. would you say the same ting to others who declined or found ways to get d ....
To serve in vietnam. he used his privilege in every way he could to avoid serving five different times and five other young men went to war in his place. how many of them lost their lives. obviously, when we talk about vietnam. you know that is an issue that is fraught for a generation of americans. would you say the same ting to others who declined or found ways to get deferments, bill clinton obviously received deferments. you used the same word to describe him. let me say one thing about president trump, in particular. he is someone who is trying to wrap himself up if patriotism. everything about him is about what a patriot he s. my gosh, he hugs the flag as a photo op. then he tries to minimize his service in vietnam by saying he wasn t a fan of that service. my heroes are the ones who responded when the nation called or stood up and said i am a consciencious objector, marched in the streets. they did the most american thing they can do, speak up, defy ....

it s very interesting. as you point out, bill clinton made extensive efforts to avoid serving in vietnam up to including possibly trying to renounce his american citizenship at the u.s. embassy in london. bill clinton refuse to talk about those things. he was elected to the white house. in 1992 new york times ran an editorial talking about the dishonorable war in vietnam and how choosing not to serve in that war was almost a marker of morality as opposed to something negative. but when it comes to time to criticize donald trump, pete buttigieg is quick to pull those things out from the history books and talk about actions out of context while ignoring that joe biden got the same deferments, dick cheney, george bush and mitt romney all got out of vietnam. at the same time, refusing to ask questions of his current ....
