I know some doctors that will give a bone spur diagnosis to anyone who wants one.

Ask the Trumps. Since the first Fred Trump came to the US and found his life's dream running a Klondike brothel, not one member of Donald Trump's family has served in this nation's peacetime or wartime military. World War 1? No. World War 2? Missed it. Korea? Nope. Vietnam? Old Yeller ain't called "Cadet Bone Spurs" for nothing. Any other service to the country? Nossir. That, dontcha know, is for suckahs and kewzers.

And for this one?

A few days ago on a separate thread I posted several prominent draft dodgers-- all Republican-- who skipped out of the draft, but were happy to send the children of others to war.

At this point I no longer worry about the draft. I got drafted last time it was in effect. Now I'm old enough that it's not a concern. I suspect it would do some of the younger generation some good to get drafted. It upsets your whole life's routine and all your plans. It also teaches a new way of life and a new view on it. Not saying that new view is better, it's different.
