Do you know what’s ironic?? If Clinton didn’t dodge the draft, the chances of him seeing combat were slim. He would be considered too smart to be in any front line unit. Chances are that he would probably wouldn’t be sent to Vietnam in the first place.

Not necessarily true. An old friend graduated with honors from Princeton, went on to a Ph.D. and did his tour in VN. Recon, in fact.

What happened to me? I have a tested-156 IQ and I got stuck in pilot training at age 18. Draft, no choice.
Different country, but still.
