A lot of republicans were Draft Dodgers during the Vietnam war, Buchanan was one, and the list goes on and on. Mr. Cheney was born in Lincoln, Nebraska, on January 30, 1941 and would have turned 18 in 1959.
Patrick J. Buchanan, born on Nov. 2, 1938, would've turned 18 in 1956.
Both were slightly too old to be considered prime draft material for Vietnam.
Go slither back to your liberal scumpond.
Your ignorance is showing.

You are right. There was no draft call-up back when Cheney was 18. The volunteers were enough to fill the slots needed. I was around back then. A young man could join the military or not join... and it was not considered "dodging the draft" to not join. Not back then.

Buchanan was a D-4 if I am not mistaken, and I am not a libral at all, I am just pointing out that the washington elite on both sides of the fence did some service avoidance.
And as far as my political leanings, I am extreme right wing, I am even futher to the right than Pat Buchanan.
