USA Today:

Sen. John McCain lamented the manifestations of economic inequality in Vietnam War-era military service in an interview that aired Sunday night, criticizing those who “found a doctor that would say that they had a bone spur” to avoid military service.

The remark appeared a criticism of President Donald Trump, who was granted five draft deferments – four for college and one for bone spurs in his heel – and did not serve in the military. But a spokeswoman for the senator said his comments were not specifically directed at the president.

 

“One aspect of the conflict, by the way, that I will never ever countenance is that we drafted the lowest-income level of America, and the highest-income level found a doctor that would say that they had a bone spur,” McCain (R-Ariz.) said, without attacking the president by name. “That is wrong. That is wrong. If we are going to ask every American to serve, every American should serve.”
