In 1968, two young men who grew up in well-to-do families and graduated from Ivy League universities, took very different career paths. 

Robert Mueller enlisted in the Marines and was deployed to Vietnam where he was wounded while rescuing a colleague trapped in an ambush. Donald Trump avoided the military draft — and Vietnam — by obtaining a questionable medical deferment for alleged bone spurs. Mueller took a bullet for his country. Trump took advantage of his country as a draft dodger who happened to know the right doctor to keep him away from war.
