Since you are a Thompson supporter, could you enlighten me as to his military service?

To my knowledge, he doesn't have any. But so what? I'm not one of these yahoos who thinks someone has to have been in the military to be President. Frankly, military service is no indicator that a person is more moral, more qualified, or even a better leader, than those who haven't served. Quite frankly, I've known a lot of guys who were in the service who I wouldn't trust to wash my car, much less lead my country.

When Hunter breaks out of single digits in a primary, someone wake me up.

I’m sure he’s a great guy and all, but he isn’t going anywhere in the primaries. Some of us deal with reality before others apparently. Wishing don’t make it so.

I looked and what little I could find indicates he was in college.

...graduated from Memphis State University 1964; received J.D. degree from Vanderbilt University 1967; admitted to the Tennessee bar in 1967 and commenced the practice of law; assistant U.S. attorney 1969-1972;

Probably got a deferment. There's still a lot I have to learnabout him,but he seems like a good possibility.

LOL! Same here. Being retired Army, it's one of the things I look for in a leader.
