Draft Dodger

One small part of the mud being slung at Donald Trump is that he dodged the draft during the Viet Nam War.

As best I recall, most young men back in those days were not happy with the prospect of being drafted and many, both left and right, did what they could to get deferred. So I don’t consider that a black mark against anyone.

In fact, I was a draft-dodger.

I beat the draft by enlisting in the Army for three years.
