The RATS did the same thing with the stock market, they sabbotaged it to be used as a political football for thier agenda. Nothing matters to the RATS, peoples life savings or a soldiers life on the battlefield means nothing to them. They have been practicing pure Naziism since JFK's death. Pres. Johnson was a commie, no doubt about it.

It's important to mention that this letter has never been discounted by Clinton or any of his minions.
Ne never did! Before this letter came out, if I remember correctly he had given three or four different versions of what his recollection was of his draft status. The man just makes me sick!
To: John Lenin
Of course now they are saying Clinton was a double agent for the CIA spying on the Oxford anti-war crowd.

The media was, and still is a willing partner in this sad tale in our countries history.

"Johnson knew he would suffer the same fate as Truman did in '52 ..."I don't believe Truman ran in '52. Ike ran against some wreck of Democrat (Stevenson?) and won handily.

Nothing matters to the RATS, peoples life savings or a soldiers life on the battlefield means nothing to them.Exactly my point. It gives me no pleasure to infer our service time was abused, but it was. The personal bravery and actions of the soldiers themselves earned the honor that is deserved for their service. However.......
Bill Clinton was the ultimate "JODY" and Lyndon Johnson was the b*st*rds cowardly "Ol' Man".

I'd imagine that the good Colonel read Clinton's letter with great dismay. Probably thought something like, "That little shithead....Lied to my face....We could've given that ROTC slot to some fine young man instead of holding it for Bill's sorry ass."

I don't believe Truman ran in '52. Ike ran against some wreck of Democrat (Stevenson?) and won handily.You're correct. It was Adalai Stevenson & Ike in '52. I believe Truman declined the Dems nomination in '52 because of the Dems trying to get Ike to run as a Dem. Ike creamed them as a Repub.
I do, however, stand by the crux of my point and recall that LBJ feared what happened to Truman would happen to him. From 1952 to 1964 was not a long time in the political mind of LyndonJohnson. A self fulfilling prophesy, to be sure.

This Clinton letter truly is contemptable -- but it again shows how many of us simply have to live in the PAST. What will happen (besides a lot of celebrating) if Clinton dies? I'm amazed that this is posted after he's already discredited by this. Amazing. Aren't there a lot of bigger bogeymen running around in the US Congress and the world who need to be exposed here -- rather than reruns??? On the other hand, i now a lot of folks will disagree. So really to make some of the truly obsessed happy, I strongly suggest this letter is posted every day. Just hope that moderates or liberals don't look at it; it's proof of an absolute obsession bordering on silliness given the huge issues and people who are underming the safety of our country (in Congress and in various countries.). Amazing!

I went to Vietnam in 1965, along with a battalion of Marines mostly between the ages of 17 and 22...many of their names can be read on Panel 05-E at the Wall
What bothers me most about this is that Clinton voiced early on that he had political aspirations to "lead"...and eventually became Commander in Chief.
Even more troubling to me is that I also wear the PurpleHeart...and it's symbol is our first president....that saddens me...that a scum bag like this protested the war does not bother me at all...the disturbing thing is that perhaps one day, his profile or portrait may emblazen a military decoration, simply by virture of his status a POTUS.

And Hillary claims she tried to enlist but was rebuffed. Sheesh. What is it that makes these two perverts
think that somehow it makes them better candidates if they claim to have some connection to the military?

I was at Ft. Campbell at the same time. I remember going there from S. California to the worst winter in 50 years. I thought I was going to die when it was 18 degrees in morning formation.

What's a "JODY"??"JODY" was the guy that stayed home in the US. Slept in your bed. Drove your car. Ate your Mom's home cookin'. Slept with your girl. Rode your motorcycle. Jody is a universal name for either a draft dodger or a 4F (not fit for the military).
Through basic combat training (BCT) and advanced individual training (AIT), we marched to songs that told stories of what "Jody" was doing while we were in the service.
Just for the record, for you potential "Jody's" still out there, when we got home we kicked their A$$!

Aren't there a lot of bigger bogeymen running around in the US Congress...You're right! There are. Though this exercise seems futile, and to some degree it is, it is necessary to conjure up the Devil, every so often so that none forget what he looks like or sounds like. Most important, what the Devil pretends to be when he tries to fool us.
Had the public been able to recognize Clinton, as many of us had recognized LBJ as the "Devil", a lot of suffering could have been avoided.

I thought I was going to die when it was 18 degrees in morning formation. If I recal correctly, 3 guys got spinal meningitis or some thing. I remember being kept in the barracks a couple days when training was suspended because of the outbreak.
Yes it was cold!

I've never seen this before, what a truly disgusting man he is!! Thank you for posting it.
