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?
Look, I admit you have a point. However, I am bothered by the knee jerk attitude of many people on both sides. 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 as well....and I don't recall anyone giving him this kind of slack! Why not? Partisan poltics pure and simple. At least Clinton opposed the war. Cheney didn't. If people are going to throw stones, they should be reading to take it as well as dish it ou.
