After one reads
Clinton's December 1969 letter to his ROTC Director and then
Colonel Eugene Holmes's September 1992 affidavit concerning Bill Clinton and the draft, one can only conclude the following:
- Bill Clinton "played" the system by pitting one end against the other.
- Clinton got Sen. Fullbright's office to pressure the Arkansas Draft Board into deferring Clinton's draft due to ROTC enrollment.
- Clinton then approached the University of Arkansas ROTC Director to offer Clinton a position in the ROTC program in order to defer his draft. He wanted the ROTC director to notify the draft board that he was enrolled in the ROTC program.
- Clinton fooled the University of Arkansas ROTC Director into believing that he wanted a position in the ROTC program to maintain his political ambitions yet still serve his country.
- Clinton never intended to join the University of Arkansas ROTC program, instead skipping out and enrolling in Oxford in England. He later "apologized" to the ROTC Director, claiming concientious objection.
For Hillary! to level charges that Bush was somehow AWOL after her husband "gamed" the system and played both ends against the middle, is the lowest of low.
But what do you really expect from a Clinton or a Democrat?

Every time you think the democrats can not go any lower, they show you that they can.

This people are beyond reprehension. Colonel Eugene Holmes must have been furious when he found out he was used in this fashion.
