Cry me a river; many men with far worse ailments than "bad knees" were drafted (or enlisted) and served. Your knees ain't that bad if you can survive being rushed by 350 pounders in a football stadium. Namath had a rich sugar daddy, his name was Weeb Ewbank who apparently had some "magic" to do with the draft board. I don't put Cheney in the same (low) category as Namath.

Kindly cite even one 350 pounder that chased after Namath. You are applying modern criteria to a past phenomenon.
