They had to re-break his leg and multiple foot bones a few times, and he missed his entire year of school. Back in the mid-60's medical care was just past blood-letting, so they did what they could do. He did go back for his senior year of high school the next fall. His right foot never grew again. It is a 10 and his left foot is an 11. BUT his draft notice came and he passed his physical. He spent two tours in Vietnam. Bone spurs? Yeah right.

At my military induction physical they only checked for flat feet not bone spurs. But trump had his personal doctor do that physical too and found a loophole not available to the rest of us, unheard of bone spurs? Our coward in chief with that tough guy face makes me puke.

But I passed a physical and spent 20 years in the Navy. Never had any problems because of it. Told the MEPS doctor all about it. No problem said the doctor. This was back in 1982 though. Trump probably was about 10 years before me.

.... would keep me out of the draft. He said, "They'll just give you a seeing eye dog and a shotgun!"
