I've never seen any mention of Rudy serving in any branch of the military. Am I wrong? I'm going to be really embarrassed if so.

He was attending NYU School of Law to become a lawyer at the time. After graduation in 1970 he got a federal government lawyer job. He was the perfect age to serve. He wasn't even 30 yet when the U.S. withdrew in 1973. You may be on to something. I haven't heard how he avoided service in Vietnam either nor whether he supported or opposed the war at that time. Hmmmm....

Oh, man, you must be licking your lips; a gold mine, huh? Maybe you can find something else to contort and twist and try to trash him with it.

You're obviously very old or very dumb; he obviously graduated from high school in 1962 and went to college.

The draft AND Vietnam was factored in to the ones that age. And it was LEGAL to go to college and law school to get a deferment then.

Not that any of that will matter to you.

And later became a prosocuter who at personal risk helped take down the NY mob saving hundreds perhaps and indirectly thousands....lives ruined through drugs,,,loan sharking... thousands of lives.

To be honest, I was not even going down that road. My point was simply that he did not serve in the military and a former Army Ranger like Hunter would be better qualified to lead the WoT.
