First off, Clinton received not one, but two induction notices -- he failed to appear both times. Then he went to the home of Col. Eugene Holmes in order to try to obtain an ROTC slot, however, ROTC is an undergraduate program -- Clinton was not eligible for it, why he badgered Col. Holmes to give him special consideration and allow him a spot that would have gone to someone who qualified. After conning Holmes, Clinton weaseled out of it with his letter, confessing to Holmes his deception, his own words "to keep myself politically viable" tipping off the good colonel as to his future plans, then skipped off to England for the anti-war stuff.

Obviously he never thought Holmes would keep his letter, the colonel gave it to the media before Clinton's election in an effort to make the American people aware of just what kind of %$*#@ they were being asked to consider for the highest office in the land, but people shrugged, "Eh, whatever" -- it just didn't matter but to a few of us. Sad to say, regardless how damning this evidence here is, the people won't care this time either.
