I read something fascinating, here at a blog called Baseball Crank. (BTW, I think I know who Baseball Crank is. He's a freeper if I'm right.) He states where he got his info and he's as thorough as he can be.

Tom Tancredo (R-CO) (12/20/45) - Did not serve. According to Political State Report, Tancredo "avoided service in Vietnam by obtaining a medical deferment for mental health reasons." This and this link, from critics of Tancredo's views on immigration, are harsher in their descriptions.

Unfortunately, the polstate report is gone and the other links are to the same author who is a feverswamp Hispanic activist. There's a better story where Tancredo confirms this:

He was alluding to some old news stories back in Colorado that could give national political writers fodder.

...

And it includes the childhood depression treatments that led to Tancredo's mental-health draft deferment during the Vietnam War.

In a restaurant in Cedar Rapids, Tancredo talked about offering to make public service announcements telling people who suffer from depression: "I know what you're experiencing with depression. You can overcome it. You can live your life."

I remember when you used to be a reasonable freeper who argued with logic. What the heck happened?
