When Cheney became eligible for the draft, during the Vietnam War, he applied for and received five draft deferments. In 1989, The Washington Post writer George C. Wilson interviewed Cheney as the next Secretary of Defense; when asked about his deferments, Cheney reportedly said, “I had other priorities in the ‘60s than military service.”

He started having heart trouble in his early 30s.

Most likely they'd caught that problem at a pre-induction physical and you'd never seen him again ~ not even for a deferment.

Frankly, I hated it when a couple of the inductees who came in when I did just flopped over dead out running around the track in the morning before breakfast. That sort of thing is just a big downer.

No, I didn't trip over their bodies ~ but others did.

I never got the hero worship of the guy around here. It is no virtue or act of courage to become the most widely discredited and unpopular administration since Jimmy Carter. Thanks for nothing, guys.
