“He got a special deferment as a law clerk, but that was not a position eligible for that type of deferment. He got it only when his boss, a judge, wrote a letter for him.”

A deferments by design was special treatment. The eligibility was determined by the local draft board. Letters of support for a deferment were routinely provided for consideration by the draft boards. These often came from colleges, universities, employers, family members, etc. A deferment only delayed your eligibility for the draft, it did not eliminate it. Rudy, like myself and 1000’s of others were placed in the draft for one year after the deferment expired. If by luck, you got a high number you most likely wouldn't be called. If you got a low number, you probably would be called.

Stop beating a dead horse and move on, unless you’re aware that there are documents out there that suggest that he never received a deferment....then bring on Dan Rather and 60 Minutes.

Once again, law clerk was not on the list of positions covered by the deferment in question.

You're a trip. You try to make this into a bogus document matter - and then whine and stomp your feet when it is pointed out that Rudy should not have been eligible for the deferment in question. That is well documented from long ago.
