"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 said in a C-SPAN interview on Sunday.

McCain mocks Trump’s deferment ‘bone spurs’

People are saying Trump didn’t watch PBS’s ‘Vietnam’ because just the name makes his feet hurt

McCain, a Vietnam veteran, was shot down while on a bombing raid in 1967 and captured by the North Vietnamese. He was a prisoner of war until 1973.
During his presidential campaign, Trump said in July 2015 that McCain was not a war hero because he was "captured."
"I like people who weren’t captured," Trump said.
In an interview in September 2017, McCain said that Trump never apologized to him, stressing that the two are "very different people" with "different life experiences."
