Or you could try to run away, as you said, and be a draft dodger. It's come to my understanding that that's not the best label to have to live with for the rest of one's life, but hey, at least you'd be alive right?  |
Tell that to all of the chicken hawk draft dodgers in the Bush Administration - Bush, Cheney, Rove, et al...
Or more of the Republican chicken hawks leaders who never served...Dennis Hastert, Dick Armey, Bill Frist, Tom DeLay, Trent Lott, Newt Gingrich, and Presidential candidates Rudy Giuliani and Mitt Romney.
And let's not forget administration insiders like Republican Neo-Cons such as Iraq war architects Richard Pearle, Paul Wolfowitz, and Eliot Abrams.
Who else...the list is too long, but let's not forget...
George Will, did not serve
Bill O'Reilly, did not serve
Bill Bennett, did not serve
Pat Buchanan, did not serve
Rush Limbaugh, did not serve
Michael Savage (aka Michael Alan Weiner)
John Wayne, did not serve
Pat Robertson - claimed during 1986 campaign to be a "combat veteran." In reality, was a "Liquor Officer."
Sean Hannity, did not serve.
Kenneth Starr, did not serve
Antonin Scalia, did not serve
Clarence Thomas, did not serve
Ralph Reed, did not serve
Michael Medved, did not serve
The list goes on...
