Senator John McCain has mocked President Trump for using his wealth and privilege to dodge the Vietnam War draft for bad feet. The 81-year old senator granted a TV interview which aired on American History TV, Sunday.
In a CNN story culled from the interview, the six-term lawmaker from Arizona talked about affluent Americans who were able to dodge being drafted into battle because they had bone spurs. McCain added that while the lowest-income level Americans were dying in the battle field, high-income level Americans found a doctor that asked them to be disqualified from the army for dodgy medical reasons.
Senator McCain did not refer to President Trump by name in the interview.
Bone spurs are calcium deposits that cause a skeletal protrusion underneath the heel bone. They are basically initiated by an inflammation which in turn injures the cartilage or tendons.
