But there were other ways to avoid it, if your conscience was conflicted.
It does not take any conviction to lie about having bone spurs and then not even remember which foot was impacted. My Uncle had bone spurs and believe me, even after the surgeries, he NEVER forgot which foot they were on !!
Also, there were pictures of trump - at the time he was claiming bone spurs - where is he playing a rigorous game of tennis. You can barely walk with bone spurs on your feet, and you sure as Hell are NOT playing any freaking tennis.
