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.

Are you saying Rudy got himself a college deferment to avoid serving in Vietnam so that he could be a lawyer. I wonder how that's going to play to the military vote...

Rudy was a pretty radical liberal at that point in time. Radical liberals were rioting in the streets against the war in Vietnam. I'm pretty sure he did no rioting or protesting, but I'll bet if someone did the right digging (that's what we do here) they could probably find him aligning himself with the wrong crowd (Fonda, Kerry, Clinton, etc) back then. Hmmmm....

Pardon me for shooting holes in the false image that has risen up around a liberal candidate. But, then again, that's what we do here on Free Republic. If liberal Rudy is one of your sacred cows, you're just going to have to learn to like ground beef.
