Wheezy Joe Biden

Upwards of 40,000 Vietnam draft dodgers fled to Canada between 1965 and 1975.  Many stayed in Canada after the war’s end and some even stayed after President Jimmy Carter pardoned them all on his first day in office. 

If fleeing to the Great White North wasn’t your cup of tea, you could beat the draft with a college deferment.  Former Vice President Joe Biden received five student deferments while he was an undergraduate at the University of Delaware and later as a law student at Syracuse University.

On April 5, 1968, after undergoing the physical exam required to enter military service, Biden was classified 1Y meaning he would only be called to service in the event of a national emergency.  Why was Uncle Joe classified a 1Y?  Teenage asthma.

We learned this through an inquiry made by the Associated Press into Biden’s Selective Service records from the Obama campaign in August of 2008.  That same month Penguin Random House published Biden’s memoir Promises to Keep in which he never mentions “his asthma, recounting an active childhood, work as a lifeguard and football exploits in high school.”

Uncle Joe is a fibber in the first degree.  He claimed on several campaign stops in Ohio in 2008 as Obama’s running mate, “I went to the University of Delaware, and we came out here to play Ohio University.”

The school’s sports information department told HuffPost that he played briefly on the freshman team in 1961. However, he never played varsity football at Delaware and did not play in the 1963 game at Ohio University.

According to a new POLITICO/Morning Consult poll of registered Democratic voters released Wednesday, more than half of respondents said it's not important for the party's presidential nominee to be a veteran.

"Our polling suggests 2020 contenders who tout military credentials won’t necessarily have an advantage when Democrats cast their votes at the ballot box,” said Tyler Sinclair, Morning Consult’s vice president. “Notably, 36 percent of Democratic voters said it was important for their party’s nominee to be a military veteran. This compares to 69 percent who prioritize political experience.”

Pete Buttigieg accused President Trump of using his "privileged status to fake a disability" to dodge the draft during the Vietnam War. 

During the presidential campaign in July 2015, the Trump campaign said Mr. Trump had a "medical deferment for bone spurs on both heels of his feet." The statement also said that Mr. Trump entered the military draft lottery and had received number 356 out of 365.

Before attending commemoration ceremonies in England and Colleville-sur-Mer, site of the Normandy American Cemetery, to mark the 75th anniversary of the D-Day invasion by Allied Forces, President Trump was interviewed by ITV’s Piers Morgan for Good Morning Britain whether he wished he could have served in the Vietnam War.

The President said, "I would not have minded that at all. I would've been honored, but I think I make up for it right now.  I think I'm making up for it rapidly because we're rebuilding our military at a level that's never been seen before."

If Democrats get all high and mighty about military service, they should be reminded that over the course of John Kerry’s 2004 presidential campaign, he was forced to admit significant details of his service in Vietnam weren't true—like his claim that he spent Christmas of 1968 in Cambodia where U.S. troops were not supposed to be and "I have that memory which is seared— seared—in me."

At one point, ABC’s Nightline sent a camera crew to Vietnam to find witnesses to back Kerry's version of events. The network was actually offering up witnesses in a Communist dictatorship—one that honored Kerry's antiwar actions in its national museums—and saying they were as credible as the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth that served in the Vietnam war with Kerry.

Kerry was a medal-grabbing phony. He used his notoriety as a veteran turned anti-war activist to jump start his political career.  He was the only known “Swift Boater” to receive the Purple Heart for a self-inflicted wound.

Who can forget the Labor Day 1970 photograph showing traitor Jane Fonda at an antiwar rally in Valley Forge, PA with Kerry leading a group called Vietnam Veterans Against The War?


President Trump NEVER gave aid and comfort to the enemy as John Kerry did.  When he testified in 1971 before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, he cited accusations that American soldiers routinely committed atrocities without presenting a single shred of evidence.
