John McCain Slams Wealthy Draft Dodgers In Apparent Swipe At Trump
If were going to ask every American to serve, every American should serve.
Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) appeared to heap more criticism on President Donald Trump during an interview on Sunday, saying it was wrong for high-income Americans to dodge the draft during the Vietnam War.
One aspect of the conflict, by the way, that I will never ever countenance is that we drafted the lowest income level of America and the highest income level found a doctor that would say that they had a bone spur, McCain said during a segment on the draft that aired on C-SPAN 3 on Sunday. That is wrong. That is wrong. If were going to ask every American to serve, every American should serve.
While the senators comments didnt directly reference Trump, the president is widely known to have received five deferments from the draft during the Vietnam War, four for education and one for bone spurs in his heels.
The New York Times obtained the presidents Selective Service records last August, and during an interview at the time Trump said the spurs had been temporary and minor and that over time, they healed up.
They were spurs, he told the outlet, although he noted that they were enough of a problem. He continued: You know, it was difficult from the long-term walking standpoint.
