So. He had enough to go to college AND grad school which was enough. More than many men with their name on the Viet Nam memorial had. Rationalize it however it makes you feel good. The allure to Virginia Beach was the beach and the good sized waves. Did go to Colonial Williamsburg a couple of times too. Still have some pictures from there.

Got any proof on the medical exam doctor? Or any proof that he really does have asthma? Any reports or health records or seeing him with an inhaler or asthma medication? Anything? Look, they both used their money to wiggle out of being drafted. Not a good look for either one. And both guys' supporters have no room to talk on the issue. Have fun in Virginia Beach. I am very familiar with it. While stationed at the Naval Amphibious Base there in 1977 we'd hop in my VW bus and head to the beach almost every weekend. Sometimes in the evening as it was only about 20 miles off base.

Thanks for sending me this "fact check". You were right. I was wrong. I Said President Biden got 4 deferments while your fact check says he got 5. This what I love about fact checks. They disprove a small part on a technicality and then claim the whole thing as mostly false. He got 5 deferments and then had a medical exam and somehow got diagnosed with asthma even though he had been on the football team. This in 1968, the year with the most US serviceman deaths n the whole war. https://www.militaryfactory.com/vietnam/casualties.php How convenient. I agree with @sherpa somewhat. It was easy to get out of being drafted if you had money to go to college. And then if the war is still going on when you graduate, go to grad school. I also agree with him it was a dumb/criminal war. But I can't just wave it off as he does. Where the rubber meets the road, for every college student that was deferred, some schmuck that couldn't afford to go to college was drafted and went and maybe didn't come back. This is my biggest gripe with President Biden. He deferred himself with 4 5 deferments yet was more than happy to send other people and other people's kids to the quagmire that was Iraq.

Use the search function and look for yourself while you have all this time headed to Virginia Beech.

Not me. I can't stand President Trump but I'll hang with anybody as long as they aren't #######s. Even better if politics doesn't come up. I don't have a fearless leader but I assume you are speaking of President Trump. Please don't take this as any kind of defense of Uncle Donald cuz it's not. But it seems hypocritical for fan of President Biden who also got 4 deferments to bring this up. His for "asthma" even though he was on the football team. Not Ron Kovic. Happy Birthday Ron.

Thank you. I'm celebrating!

I have a whole closet of Buffalo Bills past players jerseys. I wear 'em all. They are Buffalo Bills jersey after all. And I paid good money for a lot of them so I get my money's worth. I root for the laundry, not the players. That said,I do have a Josh Allen jersey.

Actually, it's called a flat tax.

How much is their "fair share"? President Biden used to say his but never said what their " fair share" is. What do YOU think their "fair share" is?

Then what?

TMI Just not a fan of people making fun of other people for immutable characteristics such as age.

We had Juneteenth celebrations in Texas in the 80s too and it has been celebrated since 1938. New Jersey can't celebrate for a few more days since they didn't free all their slaves until June 23, 1866

As far as the dance moves goes, come on man. The kids do this kind of stuff on Tic Tac and in flash mobs all the time. The ones in the upper right are doing the Electric Slide. Come on man. Have you not been in a dance club in America in the past 35 years?

Something better rise from the ashes. Yeah, good luck with that pal.
