Furious Americans are calling for the Trump family to serve in the event of a military draft for a full-scale war. There is a possibility that 19-year-old Barron Trump could be exempt from national service due to a medical reason.
On Saturday, the President announced strikes against Iran in collaboration with Israel to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. In response, Iran targeted US and Israeli interests in the Middle East. Concerns over potential US involvement in another conflict in the region sparked outrage among Americans, with social media users urging Donald Trump to consider sending his son Barron to serve.
The hashtag #SendBarron trended over the weekend, reflecting public sentiment. However, Barron’s height, at 6’9”, could disqualify him from military service due to restrictions on maximum height in certain roles involving confined spaces like armored vehicles, tanks, or aircraft.
If Barron receives a medical exemption, he would not be the first in his family to avoid military service. A deceased podiatrist, Dr. Larry Braunstein, diagnosed Trump with bone spurs as a favor to his father, enabling him to evade the draft. This exemption allowed Trump to defer military service multiple times for educational pursuits.
Trump has disclosed receiving a medical letter regarding heel spurs as a reason for draft deferment, although he could not recall the doctor’s name during a conversation in 2016. Heel spurs are bony growths caused by calcium buildup on the heel bone, with treatment options ranging from stretching exercises to surgery for severe cases.
