[quote:Anonymous Coward 19385328:MV8zMTY5NjI0XzU2NjI0OTM5X0JFNkQ2MjFG] I'm a combat vet. US Army 19 Delta Recon 1992. Not everyone can be a soldier. Every citizen can't join the military or there'd be no one to run the country. Not every single person is meant to be a soldier. I think the draft dodger meme started back in the old days when a Commander and Chief was expected to be a Vet. Those were the days of conventional warfare. Huge battles between tens of thousands of soldiers. The world does not work that way any more. Warfare today is economic. It is assymetrical. It is strategic. In today's world you could technically say that Trump is a hardened General. He has successfully led a corporate army. The type it takes to run a country in today's world. If he has a problem with someone like Hillary or Soros who are the real enemies of humanity, he can just order a drone strike or a heart attack gun. [/quote]
Original Message
He’s leading the Republican pack and loves to talk tough about ISIS, but it’s worth remembering that Donald Trump dodged the draft on five separate occasions and avoided military service at every opportunity.

I'm at a quandary here. I'm a vet and also support Donald Trump, but would like to know the other side of this story. Is there any truth to him dodging the draft?
