Like hell, Rush is 50. Conscription ended when he was 22. When he hit the eligible age in 1970 the draft was going full bore.

Rush had a college defferment.

I think we know that John McCain's a war hero. In case anyone missed it, he had a book ghost written for him in which he reminds everyone that he's a war hero. But there are other war heros, such as Rep. Sam Johnson of Dallas, also a Vietnam POW, who doesn't think a whole lot of McCain. And if you look at U.S. history (you do read, don't you?), you'll realize that except for Washington and Eisenhower, most military generals who became president were either disasters or below average. If I had time I'd walk you through a basic civics lesson, but I don't. You, like most other McCainiacs, are nasty, shallow people.
