Trump as worthy as others

Was the letter writer who was upset about President Donald Trump placing flowers on the military graves because Trump didn’t serve as upset for the eight years that President Barack Obama placed flowers on military graves since he did not serve either?

I guess the writer was really upset during the Clinton years since President Bill Clinton went to college in England and avoided the draft during the Vietnam War.

Trump at least graduated from a military school in his high-school years.
