Its been amazing to me that Donald trump has gotten away with all his shenanigans about Obama's birth certificate and no one has ever, as far as I know, asked him how and why he dodged the draft.
I've been looking and looking but haven't found it yet----anyone know?
From Wiki
Trump attended the The Kew-Forest School, Forest Hills, New York, as did some of his siblings. After he had some difficulties there when he was 13 years old, his parents sent him to the New York Military Academy (NYMA), hoping to direct his energy and assertiveness in a positive manner.[13] At NYMA, in upstate New York, Trump earned academic honors, and played varsity football in 1962, varsity soccer in 1963, and varsity baseball from 1962 to 1964 (baseball captain 1964). The baseball coach, Ted Dobias, a local celebrity for his work with area youth, awarded him the Coach's Award in 1964. Promoted to Cadet Captain-S4 (Cadet Battalion Logistics Officer) in his senior year, Trump and Cadet First Sergeant Jeff Donaldson (NYMA class of 1965; West Point 1969) formed a composite company of cadets, taught them advanced close-order drill, and marched them all down Fifth Avenue on Memorial Day in 1964. Trump attended Fordham University for two years before transferring to the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. He graduated in 1968 with a Bachelor of Science degree in economics and concentration in finance.
My question has meaning for me because I am a Vietnam Veteran. And I want to know how Trump got out of even serving in the military. And where he gets off questioning other people's patriotism and citizenship.
He went to a private military academy and evidently excelled there both academically and athleticly, getting high rank and showing positive aptitude for military activities like marching around in straight liines. He was a star ahtelete so he couldn't have had much of a physical reason for dodging the draft.
He graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 1968, age 22, still welll within draft age and the drafte continued on for 4 more years.
So Donald Trump was a smart, atheletic person who liked, and was good at, military life----just the kind of guy thhe Army wants! Also the NAvy, the Air Force and the MArines. What was his excuse for getting out of it?
So tell us, Donald? What was your excuse for getting out of serving your country? Let me guess: whatever the answer is, youre proud of yourself for doing it!
