DJT has 1 Son, and 2 grandchildren of Military age.

If we're going to have "Boots on the Ground" in Venezuela and
in (God only Knows) other Hot-Spots-- I would remind eveyone that

DJT's son, Barron Trump is 19 years old...

GrandDaughter Kai Trump, (Don Jr's daughter) is 18 years old.

Also Grandson Donald Trump III (also, Don Jr's Son) is 16 years old.
(for Reference: My Dad went into WWII at 16yo).

How Kai is managing to bravely play through the pain in her competitive golf endeavors, I'll never know.

Barron has already registered for selective service.

And they keep trying to bring back the draft . . .

it's the poor and middle class that bear that burden.

That's why it's easy for them to decide to go to war, all they have is the profit they make from war, with no personal losses to worry about.

...when it comes to draft evasion and the shirking of national service obligations. IIRC, it goes back to Trump's grandfather, who fled Germany to escape conscription, then returned and was deported for his transgression.
