The usual lies about Ronald Reagan. President Reagan served in the Army Reserves in the early 1930s when virtually no one else wanted to and no one had to and he had 20/400 eyesight. During WW2, he was an officer in an Army film unit, which fit his background and which was about all he could do with his eyesight. "President" Clinton and Robert McNamara's son Craig aren't on your list, are they?

I also didn't see Joe Namath ("bad knees" but not bad enough to keep him from playing in the 1969 Super Bowl and a tie-in with Sonny Werblin who had political connections to buy him a deferment); Cassius Clay, aka Muhammad Ali, who made a living from violence and hate; Joe Lieberman; Jackson, the former coach of the Chicago Bulls (too busy with basketball to be trifled with military service); and a host of other professional sports figures.
