Spin it anyway you want.

Sounds like you're spinning.

Cheney stayed home while fifty thousand Americans died in a war he supported.

So, unless one volunteered, it was their moral duty to oppose the war? Reply when you start making sense.

Cheney enthusiastically supported the war (he wasn't just neutral) and took *active* steps (much like Clinton did) to stay out of harm's way. So, to answer your question, it was indeed his moral obligation to volunteer especially at a time when the U.S. military was desperately hungry for more troops.

Can you imagine what folks at Hannity's board would be saying about Dick Cheney's deferments if he had been antiwar Democrat? They certainly didn't give Clinton, who at least openly *opposed* the war, a pass.
