Nixon served in the Navy in the South Pacific during World War II where he met Jack Kennedy.
During Vietnam O’Reilly stayed in college until his student deferment expired then took a job as a teacher giving him an occupational deferment. When Nixon created the “All Volunteer Army” and ended the draft O’Reilly quit his teaching job and became a broadcaster.
You certainly can’t take that away from Nixon, or Kennedy for that matter.
Y’know, it’s funny and a bit off topic, but would JFK be elected by today’s Dhimmicrats? Why is that never mentioned?
