so you're cool with how clinton got out of going since he is a liberal?

Clinton and Cheney got deferments. As far as I am aware no influence was used to get them. With Bush I think it is pretty obvious that influence from H Bush was used.

He believes Clinton never inhaled or had sex with that woman. Billary Clinton can do no wrong. Now don't let the facts get in your way!

Kennedy enlisted in the United States Army in June 1951 (signing up for an optional four-year term, which was shortened to the minimum two years after his father intervened).[9] Following basic training at Fort Dix, he requested assignment to Fort Holabird for Army Intelligence training, but was dropped after a few weeks without explanation.[9] He went to Camp Gordon for training in the Military Police Corps.[9] In June 1952, Kennedy was assigned to the honor guard at SHAPE headquarters in Paris.[1][9]His father's political connections ensured he was not deployed to the ongoing Korean War.[1][10] While stationed in Europe he travelled extensively on weekends and climbed the Matterhorn.[11] He was discharged in March 1953 as a private first class.[9][11]

Whether it was "political pull" or dirty politics, his brother was a hero and a president, and who doesn't have a black sheep in their family?
