Make her a Lady POTUS! She suffered!
I would like to see a group of them, who were there taking the exam that day, come forward to say this is a blatant lie.
I bet she can Brian Williams to back this up.
I think her allergies flare up when she is tempted to tell the truth, about anything, ever.
Plea for sympathy vote and if women fall for this we need to revisit the 19th amendment.
There is a grain of truth, there.
That is, both academia and the media pounded the lie into the heads of young men that if they couldn’t *avoid* (legal, by exemption) or *evade* (illegal) the draft, they were “going to be drafted, be sent to Vietnam, and die.”
They were immeasurably aided in this by a corrupt deferral system, that allowed enormous numbers of men to avoid service if they did so intentionally. That is, that they were made afraid, so that they sought to avoid military service, turning them against the war.
Some professors even went so far as to demand that their male students publicly protest the war in demonstrations, or that they would “fail them in class, so that they lose their deferment, get drafted, be sent to Vietnam and die.”
The truth was just the opposite.
To start with, only a percentage of young men were drafted. And they could tell if it was likely because they had a low draft number.
Second, of those that were drafted, only a minority went into the five combat branches of the Army, or the Marine Corps. The ratio of combat support and combat service support to combat personnel was about 13 to 1.
After branching, and graduation from basic training and the advanced course for their branch, the majority stayed in the US. The second largest group went to Europe and other destinations. The third group went to Vietnam.
South Vietnam was no homogeneously dangerous. There were “hot” areas, where combat was likely. But there were also “medium” areas, where combat was sporadic, and many “cool” areas where combat was rare. There was also the very large rear area, far more concerned with the random terrorist attack or violent crime. Even if someone wanted to go into combat in a hot area, they would be “bumped” if someone in that unit wanted to reenlist, on condition he stay in his unit. Many personnel reenlisted two, three or more times.
Though also uneven over the 20 years of the war, the total US killed was 58,148. As a first in modern war, slightly more than half died of combat injuries as compared to disease. Around 29,000. About 1,450 a year average.
Out of about 9,000,000 total who served worldwide during those years.
2,709,918 Americans served in uniform in Vietnam.
2/3 of the men who served in Vietnam were volunteers.
2/3 of the men who served in World War II were drafted.
Approximately 70% of those killed in Vietnam were volunteers.
No one has ever taken the media, academia, and the Democrat party to task over their lies. For political ends, they terrified an entire generation of men, caused the United States to forfeit a war, and abandoned an entire nation to tyranny.
And we shall call this whine: “Snowflake goes to college.”
What a privileged, elitist, sexist snob. Quoting my grandfather: “She acts like the sun rises and sets just to shine on the crack of her ass.”
What a lie. I was in law school the same time as Clinton, and there was no longer a grad school deferment. It had been replaced by the lottery.
Illiarily is a pathological lying narcissist criminal.
Oh good grief! We all know this never happened.
I would never yell at her. I’d simply flip her off.
1968 no more first year graduate deferments.
1968 no more first year graduate deferments.
One man probably asked her to get a cup of water and the rest is all imagined.
Parsing this in Clintonspeak, this would be true, even if 90% of the LSAT takers in the room were women. If Radcliffe was effectively the women's campus of Harvard at the time, and the Radcliffe women took their LSATs at Harvard, women wouldn't have been at all rare in the test room.
Confabulation. Or just as likely, a flat-out lie, she's pandering for votes.
I think she made this victim story up.
The horror. Maybe two people actually said something to her.
She also “remembers” being shot at by snipers in Bosnia.
Hillary playing the tried and true victim card.
