DieHardBrownsFan 4,519 Report post Posted October 18, 2020 No. A claim of “teenage asthma” for a 6 foot football star who played tennis regularly and was a lifeguard was enough for the Selective Service board to grant Joe Biden an exemption from the draft between 1966–71.

WSS I don't make the rules. The military doesn't go after people with asthma. Not sure how playing sports would make that hypocritical but I'll assume you either don't know what the word means, don't know how asthma works, or don't quite get sports. It got the Navy to stop bothering me though, so that was nice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just talking about assholes in the BB Squad that keeps screaming bone spurs over and over and over and over and over. The guy you are voting for dodged the draft repeatedly.

So if anything they both dodged the draft once, and then as college students they were fine. Of course Trump's bone spur story involves a rich father potentially getting a favor from a tenant... The system at the time seems like a way to promote a division in classes. Wealthier families getting their sons to college so they could stay alive. I guess if you made it back without any adverse affects you had a GI Bill but yeesh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Apparently, and again so what? Of course Trump's bone spur story involves a rich father potentially getting a favor from a tenant... Well apparently that's your accusation. Which, of course, means exactly nothing. Right? The system at the time seems like a way to promote a division in classes. sorry comrade. Wealthier families getting their sons to college so they could stay alive. what difference does that make to the situation because apparently Biden father was able to get him in the college. If in fact dodging the draft were the goal. On the other hand here also you made up a story about Trump's father bribing the Dr. I guess if you made it back without any adverse affects you had a GI Bill but yeesh. Joe would have turned 18 in 1960. Vietnam didn't really escalate until 1965. Apparently Joe senior had enough juice to get Junior into college. So what's your beef? Or are you just sticking with the bribery story? WSS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think some Democrat propaganda hack pull it out of his ass and you ate it up and regurgitated it here. PS I realize you aren't bright enough to know the difference but the end of your post was also a part of your post. I do understand that you like throw in power to the people shit, it's a fad amongst rich white kids whining about social injustice. It makes them feel oh so cool.
