Seems you have bought into the WP/CBS political propaganda on Bush’s NG service. Flying a high performance jet fighter is not exactly the safest way to “avoid the draft.”

Your ignorance is astounding. (No disrespect intended)

Jet Fighter pilots, not involved in actual combat, have the lowest mortality rates of most all specialty ratings in the Military. It is one of the SAFEST forms of duty in respect to hours flown/exposure and fatal accidents.

They also had special privileges that the average GI did not get.

The most risk was shared by all Helicopter pilots and their crews, door gunners being the highest at risk.

It would be helpful if you learn the facts first before making any further “Pseudo-factual” statements.
