I think Clinton did use "underhanded" methods to get out of service -- either his number was called and he joined the ROTC in order to not go -- or he pulled strings to get into the ROTC and then when he got a high number he stiffed the ROTC -- either way -- after he "refused" to go to the ROTC and went over to England on a "whangled" scholarship -- wrote a letter admitting what he did and stating that he "loathed" the military -- went to Russia during this time too....

Yeah, Clinton played games to avoid service and lied about it afterwards. The games were not to avoid service, because there was little chance of him being called up, but to avoid looking bad when he later ran for public office.
