I hated Clinton's guts (look me up on this site for some of my screeds against him) but what he did in avoiding the draft was perfectly legal

Clinton actually received a draft notice and I don't think you can assert his avoidance was "perfectly" legal.

Note: I am not commenting further than that, but it is ridiculous to say it was hum-drum run of the mill what every other guy did to avoid service activity and thus "perfectly" legal. It compares in no way whatsoever to Dick Cheney.

re: "Clinton actually received a draft notice"

Yes, but he denied this for a long time until someone came up with a copy of it! Once a liar, always a liar. He lied again when he agreed to join the ROTC and then high tailed it to England, writing a letter to the ROTC commandant that had agreed to let him join saying that he detested the military. In the America of the early part of the last century such a person would NEVER been nominated as his party's presidential candidate, let alone ELECTED.
