Your choice. It's not for everyone. If you dodged the draft I'd think differently since that is breaking the law. As for Trump's "bone spurs", it appears he never had them.

President Donald Trump acknowledged to advisors that he made up a fake injury to avoid military service, because “I wasn’t going to Vietnam,” his former lawyer told lawmakers during testimony on Wednesday.
Michael Cohen, who also worked as a fixer for Trump before his election, said he was tasked with tamping down criticism of the military deferment as the presidential candidate simultaneously mocked Sen. John McCain, a former prisoner of war in Vietnam, for being regarded as a military hero. “I like people who weren’t captured," Trump said during a July 2015 interview.
“Mr. Trump claimed (his medical deferment) was because of a bone spur, but when I asked for medical records, he gave me none and said there was no surgery,” Cohen told members of the House Oversight Committee. “He told me not to answer the specific questions by reporters but rather offer simply the fact that he received a medical deferment.
“He finished the conversation with the following comment: ‘You think I'm stupid, I wasn't going to Vietnam.’”
FWIW, I don't trust lying draft-dodging cowards and serial adulterers regardless of their politics. They are human scum.

Once in a while you get shown the light, in the strangest of places if you look at it right.

Oh, I agree.
Allegedly, one reason Trump fired General Mattis is because of this: After a snowstorm in NY, someone urinated "Trump Sucks" in the snowbank outside the door to Trump Tower. Trump was incensed and ordered the incident investigated. A staffer came back with the results. "Sir, the urine's DNA belongs to General Mattis....".
"Is that all?", Trump asked.
"No sir. The handwriting is Melania's."

Correct. Long-term alcohol abuse also damages the liver.

ALCOHOL’S DAMAGING EFFECTS ON THE BRAIN
Difficulty walking, blurred vision, slurred speech, slowed reaction times, impaired memory: Clearly, alcohol affects the brain. Some of these impairments are detectable after only one or two drinks and quickly resolve when drinking stops. On the other hand, a person who drinks heavily over a long period of time may have brain deficits that persist well after he or she achieves sobriety. Exactly how alcohol affects the brain and the likelihood of reversing the impact of heavy drinking on the brain remain hot topics in alcohol research today.
We do know that heavy drinking may have extensive and far–reaching effects on the brain, ranging from simple “slips” in memory to permanent and debilitating conditions that require lifetime custodial care. And even moderate drinking leads to short–term impairment, as shown by extensive research on the impact of drinking on driving.
