"As a Viet Nam vet, 2 TOURS 67-69, and NOT as some cozy Air Force base, it makes my stomach churn that vets call Trump a draft dodger KNOWING it is the MILITARY DOCTORS who issue the medical report to the Selective Service who then issue a draft rating.
A simple question being you claim to be so "knowledgeable" on the subject, have YOU EVER had bonespurs?
I have had bones spurs (or more precisely "heel spurs" but I guess "bone spurs" sounds more serious). In my case it was a result of a condition called plantar fasciitis which is a tearing of the tendons on the bottom of the foot that attach to the heel. A podiatrist recommended that I start wearing shoes with more arch support to lessen the stretching of the tendons in my feet. I did and this did the trick. The pain was gone in less than a month and I haven't had much problem since. In Trump's case the cure was brought about by the ending of the draft on Jan. 27, 1973. And he has never since that date had any issues with heel spurs whatsoever. So let's not kid ourselves. You and I both know that Trump never had bone spurs or heel spurs of any kind and that his medical deferment was based on a lie from a quack doctor whose name Trump has never revealed.
"I have now spent more time in Vietnam than Da Nang Dick Blumenthal" Donald Trump on Twitter
As a Viet Nam vet (Air Force, 71-74) it makes my stomach churn that draft dodging President Bone Spurs makes any kind of comment insinuating he spent time serving in Nam. I see it as an insult to 58+ thousand Americans that did serve and die there while he risked getting an STD.
Yes
Trump’s lies about his medical deferment are part of Cohen’s opening remarks today
Trump was stupid to make any remarks about service in the Vietnamese War
But of course he chose to take the low road—his favorite method of transport
I have now spent more time in Vietnam than Da Nang Dick Blumenthal, the third rate Senator from Connecticut (how is Connecticut doing?). His war stories of his heroism in Vietnam were a total fraud - he was never even there. We talked about it today with Vietnamese leaders!
Trump has boasted of his years spent in New York running around having unprotected sex with hookers as his own "personal Vietnam". Some hero, eh?
More like the president scheduling a trip to praise a dictator for continuing to abuse human rights and destabilize the world with nukes as a distraction to his involvement in criminal activity.
That's exactly what is going on and we all know it.
Even those who are carrying on about how Trump shouldn't be investigated, sensitive negotiations and all, know this.
Putin's Lavrov is over there helping with the "sensitive negotiations," freeing the rest of us to figure out who the hell is lying here at home.

Unless Trump actually served time in the military while stationed in Vietnam, I think this is another 1 of Trump's many tall-tales.
