Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Brigitte Gabriel is promoting and claiming ‘Cadet Bone Spurs’ and ‘Stolen Valor’ as she shared AI generated picture of Donald Trump wearing military uniform. (Read More Here)?
Brigitte Gabriel wrote: “President Trump is defending America in ways Biden will never comprehend.”
The Truth:
– Trump never served in the military. He got out of the draft and likely avoided Vietnam by claiming to have bone spurs.
– Trump didn’t want to visit the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery near Paris in 2018, instead allegedly saying to senior staff members: “Why should I go to that cemetery? It’s filled with losers.”
– Trump once referred to 1,800 U.S. Marines who lost their lives at Belleau Wood as “suckers,” according to staffers.
– Trump questioned whether former US Senator and POW John McCain was really a hero since he was captured. He then said that McCain was “not a war hero” because he liked “people who weren’t captured.”
The Republican presidential front runner was ‘quite the athlete’ at New York Military Academy where he was on the Varsity baseball, soccer and football teams, his former coach told Daily Mail Online.
Known as ‘D.T.’ to his schoolmates, Trump won three varsity letters and a clutch of honors in what seemed to be the perfect foundation for a career in the military.
Instead he followed his father into his real estate business and became a billionaire – after getting four student deferments from the Vietnam War.
Trump said that McCain was no hero because he had crashed his Skyhawk bomber in 1967 which led to him being held as a prisoner of war for five years and repeatedly tortured.
Documents obtained by The Smoking Gun have shown that Trump got four student deferments between 1964 and 1968 when he was at Fordham College and the Wharton School of Business.
Selective Service records show that Trump became eligible to serve in November 1966 but the medical examination rated him as ‘DISQ’.
Doctors reached the same conclusion two years later when he briefly came up for possible enlistment again.
But Trump’s record at NYMA suggests that he had no problems playing a wide variety of sports which he was so good at he was inducted into its Hall of Fame.
In the fall of 1968, Donald J. Trump received a timely diagnosis of bone spurs in his heels that led to his medical exemption from the military during Vietnam.
For 50 years, the details of how the exemption came about, and who made the diagnosis, have remained a mystery, with Mr. Trump himself saying during the presidential campaign that he could not recall who had signed off on the medical documentation.

The podiatrist, Dr. Larry Braunstein, died in 2007. But his daughters say their father often told the story of coming to the aid of a young Mr. Trump during the Vietnam War as a favor to his father.
I know it was a favor,” said one daughter, Dr. Elysa Braunstein, 56, who along with her sister, Sharon Kessel, 53, shared the family’s account for the first time publicly when contacted by The New York Times.
Elysa Braunstein said the implication from her father was that Mr. Trump did not have a disqualifying foot ailment. “But did he examine him? I don’t know,” she said.
For decades, Dr. Braunstein saw patients in a congested ground-floor office below Edgerton Apartments in Jamaica, Queens, one of dozens of buildings owned by the Trumps in the 1960s. The family sold the building in 2004, records show.
