From the OP:
APRIL 28--Despite Donald Trump’s claim this week that he avoided serving in the Vietnam War solely due to a high draft number, Selective Service records show that the purported presidential aspirant actually received a series of student deferments while in college and then topped those off with a medical deferment after graduation that helped spare him from fighting for his country, The Smoking Gun has learned.
During a TV interview Tuesday morning, Trump--who spent his high school years enrolled at the New York Military Academy--said, “I actually got lucky because I had a very high draft number. I’ll never forget, that was an amazing period of time in my life.”
He went on to recall, “I was going to the Wharton School of Finance, and I was watching as they did the draft numbers and I got a very, very high number and those numbers never got up to.” The word “deferment” was not mentioned by Trump during his chat with the morning show hosts on WNYW, the Fox affiliate in New York City.
However, Selective Service records reveal that Trump, the fortunate son of a multimillionaire real estate baron, took repeated steps to avoid serving in Vietnam.
By the time his number (356) was drawn during the December 1, 1969 draft lottery, Trump had already received four student deferments and a medical deferment, according to military records on file with the National Archives and Records Administration. An extract of Trump’s Selective Classification record, seen here, was provided in response to a TSG records request.
In fact, the December 1969 draft lottery occurred about 18 months after Trump graduated from the University of Pennsylvania, where he studied business at the Wharton School. So, while claiming that he would “never forget” being at Wharton watching the draft numbers being drawn, the 64-year-old Trump seems to have misremembered, as candidates are fond of saying.

Gee...if numerous deferments was "nothing to be ashamed of", then why did Trump leave that very important bit of info out of his answer? I suppose you using any scrap of evidence you can find to deflect from the real point here is to be expected.
Trump stated the SOLE REASON he avoided the draft was due to his high draft number...NO MENTION was ever mad by Trump of his numerous deferments...WHAT A SHOCKER!

Yankee in case you are unclear this is an insult.
Your wife gives blow jobs
Your son has aids
Your daughter is a slut that prefers the ones you protest against when you wear the pointy hat.
that's clearly an insult to that freak gathering you call a family.
if you decide to man up, and do something.

If you decide to man up then either pay the $1000 for my expenses or travel to The Yadkin Valley where I'll meet you. You tell me where and when.
