Jesse Ventura criticized Donald Trump over military service and challenged the Trump family during the public debate.

Jesse Ventura stirred the pot by stating, “A war is justified if you’re willing to send your kids.” He criticized Donald Trump, calling him a “draft-dodging coward” and urged Barron to enlist in the military, suggesting he should take action unlike his father.

In response to height-related concerns, it has been reported that Barron, standing between 6 feet 7 and 6 feet 9, may be considered “too tall” for the army.

While the U.S. Army has height standards, waivers are sometimes available for enlistment. Critics argue that a waiver could be granted to allow Barron to serve.
