Trump reportedly going to apologize to veterans tonight for Dodging the Draft

Wow, if this is true, this would be kind of big.

He apparently had 5 deferments.

Donald Trump is sticking to his guns and will not be attending the FoxNews Republican Debate this evening. He plans instead to conduct a veterans focus event where he will apologize to them and explain why he dodged the draft 5 times during the 60's an 70's.
