Nope he didnt serve when he got out of school he didnt try to hide he was just too old for the draft (what he was born in 41 and I think 26 was the cut off) he supported the Vietnam War not like Clinton and Biden

Yes! Now I remember.

He stopped requesting deferments once he got too old for the draft.

This quote comes from a Saturday NYTimes article -- "Cheney's Five Draft Deferments During the Vietnam Era Emerge as a Campaign Issue" -- discussing the lengths VP Dick Cheney went to in order to avoid serving during the Viet Nam war. It is apparent from the piece that Richard Cheney did everything humanly possible -- short of fleeing to Canada -- to avoid military conscription: He applied for and recieved 5 student deferments, a number described as "incredible" by professor David Curry of the University of Missouri in St. Louis. Curry has written extensively about the draft, including a 1985 book, "Sunshine Patriots: Punishment and the Vietnam Offender." The Times quotes Mr. Curry as observing: "That's a lot of times for the draft board to say O.K."

* Three weeks and a day after the Gulf of Tonkin resolution passed (giving President Johnson unlimited military force in Vietnam), Cheney married Lynn Cheney.

* Within a day or so of the end of deferment for "Married w/o children," Mr. and Mrs. Cheney conceived their first child.

Biden did not pass his draft physical due to having asthma.

Asthma?

Joe gets short of breath?

Who woulda thunk it, eh?

Hmm this article states that he (Joe) got school deferments

Barack Obama chooses Delaware Senator Joe Biden to be his VP | Fort Wayne Politics

So which is it Asthma or School ? This is sound DODGY to me

Okay Froggy, that's a blog. That's someone's little space on the internet where they can posts pictures of their cats in costumes, or talk about what they had for dinner, or give their opinion on Joe Biden.

It's not a scholarly article. There is no fact checking. I could go to my blog right now and write "I am Elvis reincarnate," but that doesn't make it true.

It's well documented that he received a notice, reported, and was not able to serve due to asthma and bronchial issues.

Next.

It was brought up before that he was given a "medical deferment" but also a "school deferment" I will do a search for the school deferment (when I get some time)

It depends on who you talk to which one is the correct answer..

Truth hurts sometimes doesn't it? BTW I am Catholic currently and thanks for the red.
