You’re right. The MSM is too in love to notice.

I’ve read he flunked his physical because of asthma, which is different than being deferred. Did he volunteer or was drafted, or does he claim to?

How can you be rejected from military service but then told he could be activated in a national emergency?

Anyone explain this?

“I voted to serve in Vietnam before I voted against serving in Vietnam.”

Obama served on a 3 hour tour of duty a few months back.

The White House is not a boot camp for a Commander in Chief.

Shouldn't Republicans make a big deal of this?

Why? Had Giuliani or Romney or Huckabee or Thompson won the nomination then would they have been required to choose a vet to add legitimacy? Palin, Jindal, Steele, all the other names being bandied about are all people without military service. Should we shirk from nominating them in the future for that reason? People who live in glass houses should be wary of throwing stones.

Military was a superfluous word in that headline.

I didn't see where he said that, but the was politicians twist words, he could be referring to the fact that in theory anyone with a draft status, even 4-F, could have been called up in a "national emergency"

I didn’t even consider this factor.

At least Hillary has dodged sniper fire in Bosnia!
