President Trump, who got a draft deferment for bone spurs during the Vietnam War, said he didn’t serve because he was “never a fan” of the conflict but is making up for it now by bolstering the military’s budget.

“I was never a fan of that war. I thought it was a terrible war. I thought it was very far away,” he told British reporter Piers Morgan in an interview that aired Wednesday.


“But I think I make up for it right now — look, $700 billion I gave last year, and this year $716 billion,” he said. “And I think I’m making up for it rapidly because we’re rebuilding our military at a level it’s never seen before.”


Trump received five deferments during the Vietnam War, including one for bone spurs in his heels.

The others were for education.
