He was born the same year as I was and there was no-one from my class who was my age who was drafted. There were a few older guys in our class who were but none our age. So I think he is in the same place as Cheney only on the other side.
Wasn't he busy in college '70 - '74 getting some degree or the other so he could go on and become a great ambulance chaser? Actually, I guess he COULD have gone on to Vietnam, if he hadn't had to preserve his litigation viability.
Please post some info on this. I was not aware that Clinton was drafted and then left the USA.
Kerry's a democrat.
My mistake, I thought he was 54, even so, he should have still been able to go in the draft.
Nobody also seems to "get it", that when his student derferment ran out, he joined. Thats what you had to do to avoid the draft. His choices were to be drafted as a private, or join the branch he wanted as an officer. Course there was also the Clinton chice,.....Moscow!
I keep saying to myself he has to get off this VN stuff because it will kill him, but he just hangs on it. Where is the Paris mtg with commies "bullet"? How about the Let's kill some senators "bullet"? If he doesn't want to talk about his senate record, that's fine, lets talk about the VN era record.

Either you are a liar or your husband dosen't know what he is talking about. I was born in 1953 and I WAS drafted.
Cool. Then John Edwards is a draft dodger! Doesn't surprise me one bit. What'd he do, hide behind his wife's prodigious ass?
Your profile page says Canada. Could it be....??
LOL! Garbage in, garbage out.
Pick up.
Yo, mushhead, you do realize, don't you, that John Kerry had FOUR DEFERMENTS and asked for the FIFTH one to go "study" in Paris, right?
Strange way to spell Arabelle. ;D
No you are a typical misinformed,spreading misinformation.
The funny thing is you are letting yourself be a tool for a privileged slug. Gee I wonder how did Kerry arrive into the Navy and onto Vietnam. He volunteered, thats how. He didn't seek help for admittance to schools he was not qualified to attend (then drop out for low grades)He didn't get married, he didn't knock up his wife.Volunteered to serve his country.
Born Mitchell Airfield,Long Island.
Raised Newark, New Jersey.
Corporate shuffle brought me to Canada.
Hear about being a yankee every other day from Canadians.
To call me a Canadian is a low blow.
Hardly.
The funny thing is you are letting yourself be a tool for a privileged slug.
The privileged slug is John Forbes Kerry.
Gee I wonder how did Kerry arrive into the Navy
He didn't get the fifth deferment he asked for so he could go study with his commie friends in Paris, so he enlisted in the NAVAL RESERVE -- that's right, NOT THE NAVY -- the Naval Reserve
He volunteered, thats how.
He enlisted so he wouldn't be drafted into the Army, dunce.
He didn't seek help for admittance to schools he was not qualified to attend (then drop out for low grades)
Yes, he did; he got in on his family name -- FORBES; and his own father didn't even have the money to pay for it -- his uncles paid for poor little Johnny to be a pretender.
He didn't get married, he didn't knock up his wife.
Neither did George W. Bush.
Volunteered to serve his country.
Face it, he was going to be drafted.
No wonder nobody likes liberals -- people can't stand the ill-informed.
