Letters: President should respect our military

In 1968, when over half a million Americans were serving their country in Vietnam, Donald Trump dodged the draft by getting a medical deferment for a bone spur in his heel.

In 2015, Trump mocked John McCain, who had been a prisoner of war in North Vietnam, by saying, “He’s not a war hero. I like people who weren’t captured.”

I am shocked by the disrespect our president shows the military. We need a president who respects and protects our military.

Vote Trump out.
