So with World War 3 on the horizon a lot of people have been asking about how they can be like president Donald Trump and avoid the draft via a good condition. As the story goes Trump avoided going to Vietnam because of Plantar Fasciitis. He found a Podiatrist to write him a note and was able to avoid going to war. Well the good news is there are still some conditions that will allow you to avoid military service. However, plantar fasciitis or heel spur syndrome is not one of them. The bad news is that plantar fasciitis is very treatable, even in chronic cases. If curious here are 10 very easy cures for it.
Anyways I listed your top 5 conditions that can probably get you to avoid the military draft or conscription. A word before we begin. As with all of these conditions it most likely depends on the severity of the condition. Mild cases and you will probably have to enter the draft, whereas with severe cases you may be successful in avoiding. Your best bet is to consult a Podiatrist over the condition….not just to avoid the draft, but just to get it taken care of.
1. Club Foot- Even if you have club foot as an infant and you got it treated most likely you have chronic problems with your foot to this day. Club Foot rarely has a simple cure. Most likely you walk with a limp of some kind. Listen, club foot is serious. Needless to say if you never got it treated you have like zero chance of being in the military and are most likely living on disability.
2. Severe Arthritis- Sometimes if you have had a severe ankle fracture or calcaneal fracture you will develop post traumatic arthritis in the joints afterwards. This can lead to chronic pain and disability. In most cases there is no easy fix and will often result in fusion of major rear foot joints such as the ankle or subtalar. If you conditions were so severe to cause one of those fusions you would be unable to join the military due to disability and mobility issues.
3. Diabetes- Yes, diabetes has profound issues in the feet. For example, if you develop neuropathy in your feet due to diabetes you would most likely not be able to serve in the military. Or if one were to develop foot ulcers you would be unable to serve. There are multiple complications that can occur due to Diabetes in the foot and ankle that would disqualify someone from being able to serve in the military.
4. Drop Foot- This is a condition where it becomes difficult to walk sans some sort of brace. This tends to have a neurological origin, but the limit in mobility can cause severe issues for someone looking to ambulate or serve in the military, making it most likely disqualifying.
5. Flat feet- Listen, everybody has the uncle who 40 years ago was disqualified from military service because of flat feet. To be honest with you I wrestled on whether to include this because most of you people with flat feet have such a mild condition all you need is an orthotic and you will be fine
