My Congressman did not serve in the military but you will not find a stronger supporter of our men and women in uniform. He has his doctorate so I imagine the same thing could be said about him.

A lot of people my age, younger, and older were given deferrments. Are you saying that VP Dick Cheney wasn't a good Secretary of Defense because he didn't serve or hasn't been a good VP for the same reason. He is one of the best.

Just because you served, doesn't mean you have the credentials to become President -- Al Gore, John Kerry, Admiral Crowe, and a few others come to mind.

You make it sound like it was against the law to get a deferrment but it wasn't. I know people that high draft numbers that went in voluntarily and others that got deferrments until they completed college and grad school.

I have listened to you explain away problem after problem after problem with Rudy.

In this case, you are stretching badly.

Is it really your contention that there's nothing wrong with this? REALLY? Unbelievable.

This is not a Cheney situation. This is not about school, or health, or anything noble; he just didn't want to serve his country. Open your eyes on this one.

You ready for when they assemble some Dim Viet vets to Swiftboat him? They couldn't make it stick with Bush in 2000 and Rather overreached with his fake documents in '04. But the war will be a hotspot in '08 and the Dims won't miss this chance, even more because Rudi is pro-war.

These kind of stories just keep coming out. It's a lot of negative baggage for the libmedia to party with.
