Clinton's Draft Deferrment
In the autumn of 1969, Clinton entered the draft but received a high number (311) and was never called to serve -- however, Clinton made every effort to avoid the draft prior to entering it.
First, Bill Clinton received education deferments while at Georgetown and Oxford (where he helped organize demonstrations against the war). Second, Clinton attempted to avoid the draft for four years by enrolling, but never joining, the Army Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC). Clinton had enrolled in the ROTC hoping to avoid military service for four years, but, wanting a future in politics, had a change of heart and entered the draft.
In December 1969, safe from the draft with his high lottery number, Clinton changed his mind about joining the ROTC program and wrote a letter to the director of the ROTC program thanking him "for saving me from the draft" and regretted misleading him by not revealing the extent of his opposition to the war. The letter was leaked by the Pentagon to ABC news early in the 1992 fueled criticism of candidate Clinton's character.
Later in the 1992 campaign, it became known that Clinton's uncle had attempted to get Bill Clinton a Navy Reserve assignment during the Vietnam war. Clinton said he didn't know anything about it to the press on September 3, 1992 but a day later admitted that a former draft board member had informed him of his uncles' attempt several months before.
 
Is Bill running for President?
 
So keep throwing red herrings, it doesnt work.

Kind of like GWB getting a position with the Texas ANG to protect the skies of the Lone Star State from the Viet Kong. So by your own definition GWB is a draft dodger

Did he enlist?
 
It's Viet Cong, my man.
 
Did he let  his license expire so he couldn't fly?
 
He kept TX safe from the Viet Cong.
 
I was born in 1967, thank you very much, I wasnt old enough to be drafted,and I signed up for Selective Service at 18 as required by law.
 
What was yours?
 
None of the others with deferments are runnning around saying that they got more military training than those who were in the military.

That is such crap.

Ya know...?

I did my time. Worked hard, did a good job, because I thought it was the right thing to do.

I was never shot at, and probably never had a chance of it, though one could easily enough find plenty f other ways to die on the old USS (Danger...) Ranger.


Still, I hesitate to call myself a " Veteran "


Trump's "I always felt like I was in the military" is just more of his self love BS.
