Donald Trump's version of patriotism

US President Donald Trump talks a lot about country, always upper casing the 'c', patriotism and patriots and the military.

Where was Donald Trump when the US was waging war in Vietnam and over 50,000 US soldiers were killed in battle? 

And it seems that his no-show in Vietnam is airbrushed out of his background.

Why did he not serve in Vietnam?  

Was he a conscientious objector? Was his medical condition not good enough for the job? Was he a coward?

If he was a conscientious objector then he has had a major change in his thinking. His doctors have passed him a fit man in his 70s. A coward?
