Vietnam was an immoral war and I admire Muhammad Ali for refusing to go. I don't know if people are criticizing Trump for not going to Vietnam or for the fact he found a convenient and questionable way to avoid the draft rather than stand up against it. Maybe it's the hypocrisy.

Just asking, because there were some "draft dodgers" who were moral, correct and admirable during that war.
