Letter: Our draft dodger in chief

(Jacquelyn Martin | The Associated Press) President Donald Trump speaks as he visits a new section of the border wall with Mexico in Calexico, Calif., Friday April 5, 2019.

I wonder how many Utah Republicans fail to see the irony that our current commander in chief, in charge of our military, is a draft dodger.

I also wonder how anyone in service to our country can respect his “boss.”

Kermit Heid, Salt Lake City
