John McCain Dings Trump's Vietnam Draft Deferment Without Using His Name @alternet

John McCain Dings Trump's Vietnam Draft Deferment Without Using His Name @alternet:

"Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) attacked President Donald Trump without mentioning his name during an interview for C-SPAN3’s American History TV. The senator was discussing the Vietnam War, in which he served as a Navy pilot and became a POW after being shot down, when he raised the issue of classist draft procedures in the United States. McCain used Trump's widely-publicized reason for a medical deferment as a specific example of rich Americans buying their way out of military service."
