Cheney never served in uniform. He took deferments rather than serving in Vietnam. If being in office during military action constitutes military service, then draft-dodging Bill Clinton is a military “veteran” because he was president during the Kosovo bombing.
This obsession with donning a military uniform is absurd. Vice-President Richard Cheney advanced the cause of America's interests and was part of the team that kept us safe and secure for eight years. Contrast what Cheney did with some of those who wore the uniform but advanced commie causes.
And there are other American-hating liberals who "served" such as the trio of CBS liars: Bob Scheiffer, Charles Osgood and Steve Kroft. The reality is that good men such as Vice-President Richard B. Cheney, Rush Limbaugh, Ted Nugent, Mark Levin and -- to some extent -- even Sean Hannity, though they may not have worn the uniform, have without question done more for America and our great military than any number of those who happened to "serve".
