I don't think we'll hear a peep. He doesn't want to remind people he was a draft dodger.

This clip is an example of the good stuff. And yes, the bone spur reference just has to be directed at the Orange freakshow.

Unfortunately, tRump has neither. So dont be surprised if he comes up with beaut.

(36,364 posts)11. This dumb draftee had a different observation
Actual genuine draftees (AUS) were overwhelmingly middle class. And while the upper-middle class managed to join the Army Reserves (AR) and National Guard (NG) units, the blue collar working class generally joined the Regular Army (RA).

John McCain on the Trump's draft dodging, we drafted lowest income level. Highest income found a doctor to say they had a bone spur.

But those were TALENTED bone spurs; they kept changing feet and were invisible on x-rays. Takes an artful dodger to come up with that.

One good thing that came out of that was the military didn't get a MORON.
