How did he evade the draft?

Interestingly, Rush took to the airwaves the next day to denounce people who were setting up unauthorized websites using his name.
Of those thirty million approximately 3 million served in country.
So the other 27 million who did not serve should have no voice in the say of the military today.
Along with that I don't think females who have not served should have a say, nor the blind cripple and crazy.
I wasn't drafted I volunteered and I was in country for 19 months, so I say he makes sense.
BTW go to townhall.com and see what Jonah Goldberg has to say about this same subject.
PROVE IT ! I want proof he evaded dont just throw a comment like that out without proof !
You've even gone further than Rush and said you were in the war zone in Nam. But unlike Rush, no one knows anything about you and because of your anonymity you can fire shots without anyone investigating every nook and cranny of your closet to look for skeletons. And because you are a nobody, no one really cares if they find anything there or not, nor does anyone care about your credibility.
A lot of people say that they were in Nam, but not all of them are being truthful when they say it. Some concoct stories of their peril and then run for the Democratic nomination. Some just make vague hints to give the impression that they had served in the military or had been under fire. For those who really were there, or those who served honorably in any fashion without exaggerating their experiences, I say 'thank you for your service.' But for those who lie about it because of their incomplete natures, each day to them is one of humiliation and bitterness, so I need not say anything at all. They get what they deserve in the smallness of their existance.
Rush has never said he was a military man. If you can find where he said he was, then you might have a case against him for being a fraud. But unlike a lot of his critics, he has never been antagonistic towards people in the military and has always been supportive of them.
You've slammed the guy and said he evaded the draft. Well, if you know his number was called, cough it up and cough up the day it was called. Cough up one claim by a person who would actually know that there was wrongdoing. A letter where he might have written of his desire to evade the draft or even something like what was found with Clinton and his ROTC note about 'loathing the military.' Find evidence that he was let out of it because of physical ailments which were proven to be nonexistant. No anecdotal stuff, please, because I know of people who were eligible but who were never called and I know of people who had problems which at the time they were called were grounds for passing them over.
If you are going to make negative claims regarding another person's record, you should at least provide proof when called on it of their wrongdoing and also provide some argument for why the alleged wrongdoing is relevent. What does 'credibility' have to do with entertainment and material that is advertised as a talk show (not news show)host's 'opinion?' You would think people would be more concerned about the credibility of people who claim to be 'experts' and are paid for their alleged expertise, or people who are advertised as 'journalists' but who do not live up to their name. There are plenty of them on the news every night, and in the papers every morning. Yet few people ever challenge them.
Bravo - I just wonder at what point he crossed from entertainment into the public arena of political credibility. He used to be fun & entertaining - now hes a talking head, no better than sam & cokie - I tuned out years ago
