"I think I make up for it right now,” Trump said, describing a proposed defense budget that will approach $750 billion in 2020. “I think I am making up for it rapidly.”

Well, that's mighty white of him...But I can sympathize somewhat with him since I was a draft-dodger just like him in the same era...We differed in that I enlisted to avoid the draft which I knew was coming for me sooner or later...His way was to enroll in college, and grow bone spurs...I suppose we each have our ways......Ben

I enlisted but was to late for Vietnam, I ended up in jail instead. Hell of a way to get out of serving.
This is your mind on drugs!
I won the lottery with a very high draft number and ended up becoming a fireman instead

Now THAT'S got to be a good story. I worked in our prison for many years and still miss it (not missing prison, but the wonderful staff I worked with). Maybe, just maybe, jail saved your life. I had several friends that did not come back from Vietnam alive. And, sadly, they were so young. Me - I was too young for Vietnam. But, I always knew I would someday serve in the military. Simply put, it's just what guys in our family were expected to do.Originally Posted by mgrist

That is some of the most twisted self-serving "logic" I have ever seen.
So now he increases military funding and thinks that makes his yellow bellied moves noble.“I thought it was a terrible war,” Trump told Piers Morgan on “Good Morning Britain” on Wednesday. “I thought it was very far away, and at that time nobody ever heard of the country. So many people dying, what is happening over there? So I was never a fan — like we’re fighting against Nazi Germany, we’re fighting against Hitler.”
Guess what trump----I can't remember that any of us were fans
Added in edit:
From this morning's briefing in the NYT:
Late-night comedy: The hosts skewered President Trump for saying he did not regret deferring his Vietnam War service because it was “far away.” “Yes, that is what is horrible about war — the commute,” Stephen Colbert said.
Yea---I wasn't big on the commute either---that's why I stayed over night
