They took advantage of the law relative to student & marital exemptions as it existed during the Viet Nam war as did millions of other American men of that era.  Perhaps mandatory military service for all would have some merit to enact-- e.g., make us more thoughtful about invading other countries-- but a veteran's opinion is no more or less valid than anyone else's on most topics.  The question should be "What was Trump elected to do?"  Pontificate and tweet his brand of demagoguery, or devise and implement ideas to improve our country and our world?
