Trump received five draft deferments during the Vietnam War. Four were for college, but a fifth was for bone spurs on his foot that allegedly made him ineligible to serve. There had been no medical history of spurs during medical examinations prior, and Trump claimed that they later healed on their own.

Despite having not served, Trump has called dodging STDs his “personal Vietnam,” said John McCain wasn’t a war hero because he was captured, and has attacked Gold Star families.
