Trump wasn't the only one not to serve the country

Letters to the Editor

I am writing in regards to the Priggee cartoon in the May 24 edition of the Free Press. The one I’m assuming is the two couch potatoes are complaining about President Trump’s “Mr. Five deferment-bone spurs and who’s in bed with Russian oligarchs and Chinese phone companies.”

Since we’re talking about those who avoided military service, could you please enlighten me as to which branch of the armed forces former president Obama served in? Or former Secretary of State and presidential candidate Hilary Clinton?

And another Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders? The same one who applied for conscientious objector status during the Vietnam War. Ironic that he couldn’t bring himself to serve, but aspired to be the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces.

How about former President Bill Clinton? Talk about one-sided and biased.
