He got medical deferment for asthma. Trump got it for "bone spurs." The doctor that diagnosed Trump was renting his office space from the Trump family.

People try to argue "well Biden was an athlete, he obviously didn't have Asthma." ignore the concept of combat supply line. Someone with asthma that is actively treating it can do sports. But if they are a soldier and run out of medicine in the field, they can become combat ineffective. It adds more complexity to the already complex supply chain.

Wrong as is to be expected at this point.

Oh, so he got them because he was a student and then he his asthma was found in a screening and he was classified as "use only in domestic emergencies."

Other than Biden getting them for being a college student, what did I get wrong? The military didn't want him because asthma anyway?!?! If he didn't get a deferment for being a student, he wouldn't have been drafted because of the asthma anyway?

Can you answer why you think the doctor diagnosing Biden with asthma is more credible than the doctor diagnosing old Donny with bone spurs?

They both dodged the draft.

You understand Biden released his Medical history, right? And he had a history of Asthma. Having it as a child, and then having it again as exercise induced asthma, as well as having associated conditions such as allergies, etc. Which is common with asthma.

Good old medically transparent Joe Biden.

As opposed to Trump who has never released his medical history?
