And only got to use it because he hid out in ROTC until the
danger of being called up had passed.


Clinton was never in ROTC. He made a commitment to ROTC but reneged on it.


When it comes to reneging Bush is king of the hill. At least Clinton didn't
join the reserve and then go AWOL. Besides Clinton was a great president. Bush
was th worst in history. Wish Clinton were back in office right now.

Clinton signed the agreement to go ROTC. Once safely in England he wrote
saying how he never intended to go in and loathed the military.

So much for your hero Art.

Well, if the requirement be that the Candidate be a True War Hero,
they keep missing one of the best of the lot.
Consider, if you will, a man who volunteered and served nobly through
4 years of frontline Hell, decorated for Heroism, and wounded
severely. A sentimental man, who liked children and dogs, and wasn't
afraid to weep at a beautiful sunset. An accomplished politician,
willing to go to jail for his beliefs, and a strong man who'll make
sure that Those *******s Get Theirs!
Just the things the Usenet Democrats claim are the prime qualities of
a Presidential Candidate.

I give you, of course, Adolf Hitler.

No thanks, not a democrat.....


Let us now invoke Godwin's Law, and declare these threads over.


Actually, on studying the 1940 Presidential campaign, the number of
Midwestern Progressives (Then the highly Liberal Wing of teh
Democratic Party) threw in with the Germans. Many accepted campaign
conributions (To the tune of about 5 Million 1940 Dollars), and quite
a few actually made it into the Abwehr's books as Paid Agents.
(Including John L. Louis, head of the United Mine Workers)

Sad..
