💨 Abstract

Donald Trump's avoidance of military service during the Vietnam War has been scrutinized, with critics noting his repeated deferments and medical exemptions. Trump has claimed bone spurs prevented his service, but documents and testimonies suggest his wealthy background played a role. His recent criticism of NATO troops in Afghanistan has sparked outrage among veterans and political leaders. Trump's administration has also renamed the Department of Defense to the Department of War, aiming for a "warrior ethos."
