Barron Trump barred from military service by bizarre medical exemption amid Iran war

I admit that I do not know anything about medical exams that would disqualify anyone from service--except for his dads bong spurs.




Barron Trump barred from military service by bizarre medical exemption amid Iran war

Outraged Americans are asking the Trump administration to send the president’s youngest son, Barron, to the Middle East as the U.S. launched strikes against Iran in a joint operation with Israel

......................

The hashtag #SendBarron was trending on X over the weekend. One user wrote, “at least someone from the Trump family should demonstrate how patriotic they are by serving instead of grifting.”


...............
“POTUS is chilling at his own country club while starting WWIII #SendBarron,” a third user commented.

However, a military medical exemption would disqualify the teenage Trump from military service.

Barron stands at a staggering 6’9’’ tall, meaning he may be too tall for the Army, particularly for specific roles involving restricted space like armored vehicles, tanks, or aircraft. Generally, max height limits (e.g., 80 inches/6'8" in the US Army) are enforced to ensure safety and fit within equipment.

If Barron got a medical exemption, he would not be the first member of his family to avoid military service.

If Barron got a medical exemption, he would not be the first member of his family to avoid military service.

In fact, Dr. Larry Braunstein, a podiatrist who worked in Queens and died in 2007, diagnosed President Trump with bone spurs as a favor to his father, Fred Trump, in order to help him avoid the military draft.

Dr. Elysa Braunstein and Sharon Kessel, the daughters of the late doctor, told the New York Times that he would often retell the story.


"It was family lore," Elysa Braunstein told the Times, adding that the story was "something we would always discuss" among family and friends.

2. He could certainly get a height waiver

His height would make him perfect for observing enemy troop movements on the battlefield.

4. Absolutely could.

Plus how do we know 6' 9" is his actual height? The Trumps lie about everything.

3. Bullshit.

The driver on my tank when I was stationed on Fort Knox was 6'7". He was able to fit inside the tank, no problem. Admittedly, the driver's position is the best place on the tank for him to serve comfortably. But the point is, there's always a way.

5. David Robinson served as a US Navy reservist Supply Officer...

While he was playing for the San Antonio Spurs. At 7'1".
True he started out in the Naval Academy at 6'2" and was going to be a submarine officer until he continued to grow another 11 inches, but there's nothing to keep Barron from passing a military physical at 6'7" if he was patriotic...

6. Damien, he's coming, trust me n/t

8. +1000

7. He goes to his daddy's shoemaker

11. Because of course he is.

I miss the days when leaders fought alongside their people instead of watching the chaos they caused unfold on 24/7 cable news.

12. David Robinson Served In The Military

He was 7 feet tall.
Back in the 50s, Doug Atkins, at 6'8" served in the military.
The "too tall" thing is just silly.

13. His condition is called

Congenital Affluenza.

[BigmanPigman]

14. People have mentioned that he may be autistic

or on the spectrum. Could that be the issue?

[TheProle]

15. Could also be that the US has no draft

and no American needs an exemption for service that is purely voluntary.

16. Don't guys have to automatically have to

sign up when they turn 18? That's what I've been told by my male friends.
