Yeah, danm him to hell! Served his country even though he didn't believe in the war and had the balls to stand up to protest that war AFTER he served. A man who stands up in front of God, his Government and the entire country for what he believes in even though he knew, without a doubt, that some would condemn him for it. Yeah, what a national disgrace.

You should google it and find out what it is before you make a complete ass of yourself.
I took your advice and here's something I came up with. Clinton's Draft Avoidance

I don't know about you but it all sounds like manipulation and avoidance to me. By the way, I'm the same age as Clinton and not only did I enlist voluntarily while I had a student deferrment but I served as well.

Were you a Rhodes Scholar? That is the opportunity of a lifetime.

The page you link takes the words directly out of a chain email.

No, I was anything but a Rhodes Scholar and I would have had no troubled if he took advantage of that and THEN served. But he didn't and I believe that was indicative of his personality and values. It's only ever and always about him.

Why are you so insitent that Clinton should have served? Wasn't he anti war? I think you should be more concerned about pro-war hawks like Dubya and his "service"

How many more links and quotes do we have to put up? You can believe what you want. Just don't be a hypocrite and trash the man then act like a backlash is unwarranted
