Despite his many draft deferments, Donald Trump claims that his time at a military prep school better prepared him for life in the military than actual military training would have done.
According to Trump, who attacked the “war hero” status of Sen. John McCain (R-Arizona) in July, his education at the New York Military Academy gave him “more training militarily than a lot of the guys that go into the military.” His parents sent him there for his eighth grade year when his behavioral problems at Kew-Forest, a “more traditional prep school” located in Queens, became to much for the teaching staff. (He claims he assaulted a music teacher “because I didn’t think he knew anything about music.”)
No need to do anything, these politicians shoot themselves in the foot continuously.
Except of course he didn't say that. Click on the real link and read the NY Times article that opinion piece is based on. What was said was this. In regards to the draft.
“My number was so incredible, and it was a very high draft number. Anyway, so I never had to do that, but I felt that I was in the military in the true sense because I dealt with those people,” he told Mr. D’Antonio.

You seriously think that is better? It is flat out insulting. That is like saying you know what it feels like to be a woman because you put on a dress or know what it feels like to be black because you got a really dark tan or know what it is like to live in some country because you went on vacation there for one week. I swear, every time I think I couldn't hold the man in more contempt he opens his mouth and proves me wrong.
If he gets the Republican nomination I will for the first time since 1972 not vote for a Republican for president in the general election.

If he had been "in the military in the true sense" at that time, he'd have been dealing with the Viet Cong.

A Trump nomination would likely mean Hillary wins.
