"Eh, I guess it’s all in your perspective. Frankly, I look askance at guys who had “other priorities”."

============================================================

It isn't at all about perspective, post 39 makes crystal clear that Gingrich was no where near being a draft dodger and that he also flunked his physical.

POST 39 "Gingrich wouldn't be considered a draft dodger, he was already married by 1962, already had children by 1963 and had his Bachelors degree by 1965 and his PHD by 1971. Even in 1971 he was diagnosed by the draft board as having flat feet and nearsightedness. He isn't someone that was ever a part of the draft dodger efforts."

Not at all Ansell, he CHOSE to get married and pursue a PhD; young men his age were regularly being drafted and EVEN MORE volunteered. Newt had “other priorities” while men his age were serving, nothing prevented him from not seeking a deferment or even (heaven forbid) stepping up and joining. The fact that he did not speaks volumes.
