You lose all credibility by using an "Occupy Democrats" meme to try and make a point. Sad. Picture on the left is a highschool photo before he even registered with selective service. The photo on the right is as a cadet in a military academy during an educational deferment. His bone spur deferment was well before and considered temporary, but because Congress never declared Vietnam as a war, all temp medical deferments, not just his, became permanent regardless of condition. Big difference between dodging and legally deferring.

As far as Trump's words, I'm finding it difficult to align where they were hypocritical or linked to any type of military service requirement to be patriotic. Care to share?

Where the meme came from, is inconsequential. There are hundreds of draft dodging Trump memes on the internet. I just basically picked the first one I saw. If you want me to change it to another meme dealing with the same subject matter, I can do that. The fact that you buy into Trump legitimately getting out of going to Viet Nam on a real medical deferment shows your gullibility. If it wasn't for bone spurs, they would have found "something else" that would've kept him out of the war. Money talks. If that wouldn't have worked, he just would've walked around with a load of crap in his pants, acting crazy, like his buddy Ted Nugent did.  

How do you not see the link? He's calling protesters unpatriotic for kneeling during the national anthem, when he is guilty of dodging the draft during the time his country asked him to serve during war. I know a lot of people did it back in the day, but how can draft dodgers call other people unpatriotic when they refused to fight in Viet Nam? That is the height of hypocrisy.
