Yes.
On December 12th, 1969 Bill Clinton travels to Norway where he meets with various peace organizations. He later travels on to Moscow on December 31, 1969 and stays for a week. One should remember that Moscow was still supplying North Vietnam with missiles that were used to shoot down American planes along with technicians and military advisors. Some of these advisors participated in the interrogation of American POW’s.
Colonel Eugene Holmes a highly decorated officer of the United States Army, who survived the Bataan Death March and three and a half years of imprisonment as a POW during the Second World War, wrote the following notarized letter on September 7, 1992.
Col. Holmes Notarized Statement
As Entered in Congressional Record (Page: H5551) 7/30/93
September 7, 1992. Memorandum for Record:
Subject: Bill Clinton and the University of Arkansas ROTC Program:
There have been many unanswered questions as to the circumstances surrounding Bill Clinton’s involvement with the ROTC department at the University of Arkansas. Prior to this time I have not felt the necessity for discussing the details. The reason I have not done so before is that my poor physical health (a consequence of participation in the Bataan Death March and the subsequent three and a half years interment in Japanese POW camps) has precluded me from getting into what I felt was unnecessary involvement. However, present polls show that there is the imminent danger to our country of a draft dodger becoming Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the United States. While it is true, as Mr. Clinton has stated, that there were many others who avoided serving their country in the Vietnam war, they are not aspiring to be the President of the United States.
The tremendous implications of the possibility of his becoming Commander-in-Chief of the United States Armed Forces compels me now to comment on the facts concerning Mr. Clinton’s evasion of the draft. This account would not have been imperative had Bill Clinton been completely honest with the American public concerning this matter. But as Mr. Clinton replied on a news conference this evening (September 5, 1992) after being asked another particular about his dodging the draft,
“Almost everyone concerned with these incidents are dead. I have no more comments to make”.
Since I may be the only person living who can give a first hand account of what actually transpired, I am obligated by my love for my country and my sense of duty to divulge what actually happened and make it a matter of record.
Bill Clinton came to see me at my home in 1969 to discuss his desire to enroll in the ROTC program at the University of Arkansas. We engaged in an extensive, approximately two (2) hour interview. At no time during this long conversation about his desire to join the program did he inform me of his involvement, participation and actually organizing protests against the United States involvement in South East Asia. He was shrewd enough to realize that had I been aware of his activities, he would not have been accepted into the ROTC program as a potential officer in the United States Army.
The next day I began to receive phone calls regarding Bill Clinton’s draft status. I was informed by the draft board that it was of interest to Senator Fullbright’s office that Bill Clinton, a Rhodes Scholar, should be admitted to the ROTC program. I received several such calls. The general message conveyed by the draft board to me was that Senator Fullbright’s office was putting pressure on them and that they needed my help. I then made the necessary arrangements to enroll Mr. Clinton into the ROTC program at the University of Arkansas.
I was not “saving” him from serving his country, as he erroneously thanked me for in his letter from England (dated December 3, 1969). I was making it possible for a Rhodes Scholar to serve in the military as an officer. In retrospect I see that Mr. Clinton had no intention of following through with his agreement to join the Army ROTC program at the University of Arkansas or to attend the University of Arkansas Law School. I had explained to him the necessity of enrolling at the University of Arkansas as a student in order to be eligible to take the ROTC program at the University. He never enrolled at the University of Arkansas, but instead enrolled at Yale after attending Oxford. I believe that he purposely deceived me, using the possibility of joining the ROTC as a ploy to work with the draft board to delay his induction and get a new draft classification.
The December 3rd letter written to me by Mr. Clinton, and subsequently taken from the files by Lt. Col. Clint Jones, my executive officer, was placed into the ROTC files so that a record would be available in case the applicant should again petition to enter the ROTC program. The information in that letter alone would have restricted Bill Clinton from ever qualifying to be an officer in the United States Military. Even more significant was his lack of veracity in purposefully defrauding the military by deceiving me, both in concealing his anti-military activities overseas and his counterfeit intentions for later military service. These actions cause me to question both his patriotism and his integrity. When I consider the caliber, the bravery, and the patriotism of the fine young soldiers whose deaths I have witnessed, and others whose funerals I have attended.... When I reflect on not only the willingness but eagerness that so many of them displayed in their earnest desire to defend and serve their country, it is untenable and incomprehensible to me that a man who was not merely unwilling to serve his country, but actually protested against its military, should ever be in the position of Commander-in-Chief of our armed Forces.
I write this declaration not only for the living and future generations, but for those who fought and died for our country. If space and time permitted I would include the names of the ones I knew and fought with, and along with them I would mention my brother Bob, who was killed during World War II and is buried in Cambridge, England (at the age of 23, about the age Bill Clinton was when he was over in England protesting the war). I have agonized over whether or not to submit this statement to the American people. But, I realize that even though I served my country by being in the military for over 32 years, and having gone through the ordeal of months of combat under the worst of conditions followed by years of imprisonment by the Japanese, it is not enough. I’m writing these comments to let everyone know that I love my country more than I do my own personal security and well-being. I will go to my grave loving these United States of America and the liberty for which so many men have fought and died. Because of my poor physical condition this will be my final statement. I will make no further comments to any of the media regarding this issue.

September 1992
It is quite apparent to myself that Bill Clinton was a “Draft Dodger” and freely associated with known enemies of the United States.
As I have previously indicated, Bill Clinton went to the extreme and used everything available to him to avoid the draft. During those War Years, many college students used any means possible including demonstrations and the burning of their draft cards to stay out of the military. If everyone had put as much time and effort into serving their Country and doing their duty, perhaps there would have been a different outcome. Too many people concentrated on their own personal well being as individuals, instead of working for the good of our Country.

When clinton was dodging the draft, he disappeared in Russia for up to a year.
clinton says “he does not remember the year”.
It was my thought, that he went for a week or two, in a normal trip, paid for by Russia.
He then returned to Russia and vanished, I have thought always that he was one of the people who went into the training camps to be trained in being a spy, or terrorist.
I have known of the camps and the fact that Americans went there, since the mid 1970’s.
There are many who think that is where our missing POW’s went, they were used to train the spies.
There were towns set up that looked like American towns, these were used for training the sleepers that would come to America.
Someone wrote a fiction book called “Charm School”, that is about the training camps.
But my info did not come from the book, as when I read it, it made me laugh, that I wasn’t smart enough to take the truth and turn it into fiction.
Back in the 1970’s and before the Monthly issues of the Reader’s Digest Magazine, published the truth from all over the world.
Much of the info on Russia is in those early issues.
The last few years, it is all yuppie crap, to me.
Plus up until 1970, I was around the military, so heard some
stories, that others did not.

“Seven months ago an intelligence professional, whose credentials are
impeccable, told me something quite alarming. He told of a taped
conversion between two Czech Communist officials. They were
discussing a young American college student — Bill Clinton — who
was then visiting Prague. They mentioned that he was expected to
attend a meeting at a certain place which was reserved for the
recruitment of Communist bloc agents.”
This is a humongous posting.
Thank you, as always, you come up with the missing pieces.
At your link, post 248 is another that I was looking for recently,
“The American POW’s that were taken to Russian prison camps”.
They were used as the foundation for the book “Charm School”,
about training Russians to live/pass as Americans.
Thanks for your work.

Bump for weekend read.
Thanks for the heads-up!
Fedora,
Outstanding piece on Clinton. I always knew the SOB was an active Communist sympathizer, but your article really exposed the extent of his involvement. His association with Fullbright and Group 68 proves that his foray into the radical Left was no accident and in turn, shaped his future political connections and actions as President. (ChinaGate among them).

(I reposted this due to a reply to the wrong individual...oops!)
OUTSTANDING! (as usual) BTTT!
I have done this many times, LOL :-)
Thanks for the review! Your summary states exactly the gist of what I was trying to get across.
Another indicator of his early involvement which I don't get much into in the article is his relationship at Georgetown with Ann Markusen. During the '92 campaign, Markusen was trotted out by Clinton supporters to show that all of Clinton's early girlfriends weren't "brainless" types, but she declined to be an official spokesperson for Clinton because she feared Clinton's conservative opponents would dig up her participation in feminist groups of a Marxist persuasion. One thing I find significant about this is that it shows Clinton's attraction to radical women predated his relationship with Hillary at Yale.
Thanks BTT! :-)
Another BTTT! for newer FReepers.

TTTT! (Thanks to the top!) :-)
Thanks for the link!
Outstanding link. GRRRRREAT tie in to this thread! Thanks to you, Dr. Marten and Fedora. BTTT!
yes, I remembe seeing that picture of him burning the American flag in Moscow. I think it was 1969.
Wasn’t Senator William Fulbright also a big time racist? Wonder if the black ‘community’ knows about that...
Yes and they were blinded by the LSM because Halfbright was a DemoCRAP.
