  • Well enough to play football and be a life guard, but not be drafted during Vietnam?  Hmmmmm.....

  • Asthma gets the military to leave you alone. One of the silver linings.

    A little bit hypocritical if you play football like Biden or soccer like... But yeah.

  • 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.

    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.

    Nobody really gives a fuck woodpecker. 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.

    How did the educational deferment work? If you were in college were you just put on a "reserve" list and only taken if absolutely needed?

    Okay. Actually I'm not positive but I would guess that if the shit really hit the fan they'd find some way to take as many people as they could get. As for me the draft number was high enough I didn't have to worry about it.

    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.

    Apparently, and again so what?

     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?

  • Has anyone mentioned that Biden's son was thrown out of the Navy for drug use.. And Pence's son is a pilot in the US Marines?

    Did I miss that?
