...them bone spurs just up and vanished forever as soon as he didn't need 'em anymore. (Meanwhile, those of us getting on in years find every single one of our old injuries coming back to bedevil us.)

I worked in Fort Knox and 'Nam with 2 soldiers. One, in Basic Training, had suffered 3rd degree burns on his legs and was physically disqualified. The other suffered a football injury endangering his, umm, procreative function. In both cases, the military offered to fix their physical problems if they agreed to subject themselves to the draft. The first guy received very expensive medical treatment to restore his legs to full function. The other guy had surgery to remove a damaged testicle which, his doctors told him at the time, had a better than even chance of becoming cancerous and killing him. The process was part of the military's effort to increase the pool of cannon fodder by drafting people who were otherwise not qualified for service either physically or otherwise. The soldiers in this "program" were identified under the special military identifier of "US67" .

President Piggy, I have little doubt, had the same opportunity to allow the military to, so to speak, make him whole that was offered my 2 Army associates

I mention this only because the Pedo Piggy President has been allowed to trot out his bogus medical problem as preventing him from doing his duty as an American, sob-sob.

(For what it's worth, I applaud any man or woman who managed to stay out of the military during our admittedly genocidal war against the Vietnamese people. But Trump was a goddamned draft dodger, not just a poor, physically incapable young man. I despise him and cannot let stand any description of him that leaves out his privileged cowardice.)
