Not to defend Bill Clinton but one of the reasons he has never attempted to refute any of these allegations is that he cannot afford to lose his anti-war activist reputation. For a good part of his political career that's the only thing that kept him in campaign money, and he knows those guys are still good for a couple of mil' per year.

Here in FreeRepublic we have it on good authority that the man suffers from peronie's disease. Actually, Paula Jones' lawyers have sworn witnesses to the condition. It disqualifies you for military service. Bill showed up for his pre-induction physical, the condition was discovered, and he was simply rejected for service.

It's worth noting that at that time if you were overseas when you got the notice you could report to any American military base and take the physical. Presumably Billzo took his physical somewhere in UK. His draft board probably issued his induction notice before the results of his pre-induction physical arrived back in Arkansas from UK. Still, no one immediately followed up on that to take him away. Still, by the time they got around to it, the draft board had probably found out the Army's doctors had rejected him.

Back in the days when they actually mailed real records back and forth and there was no internet, information didn't get exchanged instantaneously. For example, I had enlisted in the Infantry in December 1966 with a reporting date in February 1967. Sometime in May 1967, federal police arrived at my last known address to round me up for military duty although I was already in Advanced Infantry Training at Fort McClellan, Alabama. They verified my address anyway according to the company commander of my training company.

I doubt information about Bill Clinton traveled any faster back in that time.

So, with peronie's disease in mind, the rest of Billzo's encounters with military duty can be seen as a way to evade the doctors and get in. Remember, too, that it's the Army setting this standard. The doctors know very well that Billzo could function quite normally despite that disease. I am surprised he didn't write four or five letters explaining how he "despised" the military as a consequence. He's spent the rest of his life showing them just how wrong they were.

...we have it on good authority that the man suffers from peronie's disease...it disqualifies you for military service.

Actually, Dolly Kyle Browning was with him before and after (and maybe during) his college days, and never noticed a bent weiner. Or if she did notice it, I reckon she is the type of lady that might not mention it. Anyways, by all accounts, Bill's manhood was not leaning to the left when he was trying dodge the draft.
