Thank you, Senator Duckworth! !

Let me get this straight "She graduated from the University of Hawaii in 1989 with a Bachelor of Arts in political science, and later received a Master of Arts in international affairs from George Washington University.[9]" knows MORE about medical conditions then military doctors who examined him and determined he was unfit physically for military duty.

Is THIS your CLAIM?

Medical deferments are a WHOLE LOT DIFFERENT then DRAFT DODGING.

If you want to talk about REAL draft dodging, we can talk about Bill Clinton.

I DON'T think you know much about how the military deferments work and CERTAINLY medical deferments.

Do you think your VP Joe Biden was a draft dodger?

He got 5 deferments?

He was smart enough to stay out of Vietnam. Duckworth was not smart enough to stay out of Iraq.

Noted that you think our military members are stupid for investing their lives to ensure there is a force to protect you when **** hits the fan. And then you're probably going to say you support through troops...

The only war Trump was fully engaged in was the war against VD which he called his Vietnam.

Republicans sink to a new low.

I guess draft dodging is right up there with tax evasion according to the right wingers.

So Democrats support the military draft now? I thought they were about "my body, my choice"?

I got drafted and served my 2 years, including a tour in Nam. As much as I dislike Trump, I think he was smart to find a way to stay out of that waste of a war. We accomplished absolutely nothing there. But that said, he has had a problem with running down those who did serve. Remember his comments about McCain and no I don't like McCain either, but he served and was a POW. He deserves respect for that.

Good rant... but Duckworth did sell out the military (and the whole country) to extort a DACA deal.

The conservative hero, Rand Paul also voted no.
