Then Barron can serve at 6'7 pr 6'9 or however the hell tall he is. Robinson's only problem was that he initially wanted to serve on submarines and he was too tall for that, so he went elsewhere in the Navy. I think Barron is too tall for helicopters (boo hoo) so he might have to serve in the ground troops like Prince Harry did. If it's good enough for British royalty, it's damn well good enough for American pretend royalty.

And didn't claim the war was over again and again. And of course did not call Medicare a scam.

your criteria. You said the children of all President's who bombed foreign countries should have to enlist

During the military intervention in Libya, there were civilian casualties, including in areas where schools were located. The military actions were aimed at military targets but involved significant civilian impact.

Since he is making huge profits off this war should he not serve or are rich people exumpt from service?
