McCain Takes Veiled Swipe at Trump's Vietnam War Exemptions

Oct 23, 2017, 11:00 AM

Senator John McCain (R-AZ) appeared to take aim at President Donald Trump's draft deferrals during the Vietnam War this week, following a series of public rebukes of the Trump administration.

In an interview about the Vietnam War on C-SPAN3, American History TV, on Oct. 22, McCain criticized "high income" draftees who avoided military service while apparently alluding to the president's own draft exemption — but he did not mention Trump by name.
