Posted by AlM on Sat Apr 30 10:05:16 2011, in response to Trump's Latest Scandal: Draft-dodging, posted by SMAZ on Fri Apr 29 22:46:40 2011. The Smoking Gun poked yet another hole in Trump's story, reporting that Trump's number (356) was called up in the Vietnam lottery on Dec. 1, 1969, a full 18 months after Trump graduated from Wharton.What happened on 12/1/1969 is that the numbers were drawn for people born before 1950. Trump drew 356 on that day. "Called up" suggests that people who had that number were drafted on that day, which is obvious nonsense. No one who drew a number on that day was drafted that day. Literally the sentence is true but it sure gives the wrong impression. |
