Spin it anyway you want. Cheney stayed home while fifty thousand Americans died in a war he supported.
Sounds like you're spinning.
Cheney stayed home while fifty thousand Americans died in a war he supported.
So, unless one volunteered, it was their moral duty to oppose the war? Reply when you start making sense.
Many stay home. In a war with 500,000 peak combatants, most American males were not drafted whether they had a deferment or not.
I am not going to the ghetto, so I can't support the war on Poverty?
I am not going to Afghanistan, so I cannot support the war on terror.
You're our resident peacenik, aren't you? Did you oppose the war on the Taliban?
So did a lot of people AWW. Some weren't called, some chose NOT to volunteer, some dodged the draft, etc...
NON service during Vietnam is not, in and of itself "dishonourable". The REASON for the non-service could be depending on the situation and the motivations of the persons not serving.
My father was in his thirties at that time, was married and had two children - he did not volunteer (he had served in the Guard in the 50's). He is a life long republican adn he supported the war in vietnam. Is it dishonarable that he did not serve?
"Spin it anyway you want. Cheney stayed home while fifty thousand Americans died in a war he supported."
Cheney stayed home, Edwards stayed home, Clinton ran like a girly man to Oxford and millions of other Americans stayed home. And yes, 56,000 Americans died in the name of freedom.
No one, except his boatmates and unitmates have a problem with John Kerry's Vietnam experience. And they are calling him on the carpet for it and Kerry refuses to answer the accusations.
In addition, upon arriving home from Vietnam, John Kerry blasted, mocked and denigrated the people that were sent to die in the name of freedom. That is what Kerry has to answer to the people of the United States for. And we want the answers.
Failure to do so not only makes him irresponsible but a coward to boot.
Cheney stayed home with 250,000,000 other Americans while we went to war.

Spin it?
What on Earth are you smoking over there?
Vice President Cheney was a 26-years-old married man with a daughter when the draft began -- calling up 19-year-olds.
And just a few short years ago Kerry and his trial liar cobber were apologists for the seriously serial draft evading traitor, Kling Tong.
I support the repairs on my street but I'm not about to go out and fix it.
Of the 26.8 million men who were eligible for the draft between 1964 and 1973, only 2.2 million were drafted while 8.7 million joined voluntarily, according to "Chance and Circumstance: the Draft, the War, and the Vietnam Generation," a 1978 book by Lawrence M. Baskir and William A. Strauss. Mr. Cheney was among the vast majority of 16 million men " about 60 percent of those eligible " who avoided the draft by legal means.
F*ck you
