What is the difference between the two as far as the draft is concerned?
AI Overview
Joe Biden never served in the military, avoiding the Vietnam War draft first through multiple student deferments and then a medical exemption
. Whether this constitutes "dodging" the draft is a subject of political debate.
How Biden Avoided Service
Student Deferments: Biden received five student draft deferments while he was an undergraduate at the University of Delaware and later during law school at Syracuse University. These were standard and legal ways for college students to postpone military service during that era.
Medical Exemption: After a physical exam in April 1968, Biden was given a Selective Service classification of 1-Y, meaning he was available for service only in a national emergency. A campaign spokesperson later clarified in 2008 that this was due to having had asthma as a teenager. The 1-Y classification effectively disqualified him from service as no national emergency call-up occurred.
Controversy
The controversy surrounding Biden's (and other politicians') lack of military service often centers on the legitimacy of the medical exemption, especially since his memoir, Promises to Keep, recounts an active childhood where he was a high school football player and a lifeguard, without mentioning asthma. Critics have pointed this out as a potential contradiction.
His situation has been compared to that of other politicians who also received deferments, such as Donald Trump, who received four student deferments and a medical exemption for bone spurs in his heels. Deferments were a common, legal way for young men to avoid the Vietnam War draft, and many Americans used them at the time.

AI Overview
Donald Trump received five deferments to avoid military service during the Vietnam War: four for
student status (college) and one medical deferment for "bone spurs" in his heels, which kept him from being drafted. While many young men used deferments, the medical exemption for bone spurs became a subject of significant controversy and scrutiny, with reports suggesting it may have been questionable, possibly given as a favor, as he was an athlete.
Here's a breakdown of his deferments:
Student Deferments (4): He received these while attending Fordham University (1964-1966) and the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania (1966-1968).
Medical Deferment (1): After graduating, he received a 1-Y medical deferment for bone spurs in his heels, which exempted him from service, notes CNN and The New York Times.
Controversy & Scrutiny:
Reports from The New York Times, Business Insider, and Military Times indicate his medical exemption was questioned, with his former lawyer, Michael Cohen, testifying that Trump gave him no records and implied he wasn't going to Vietnam, and family members of the doctor claiming the diagnosis was a favor to Trump's father.
In essence, Trump used legal means (student deferments) and one contested medical exemption to avoid military service in Vietnam.
