Ask our Pres. how many died there in his place because he received and accepted multiple phony deferments!!
It disgusts me to see him with our military folks!


As self righteous as you might be, my bet is that you aren't old enough to know anything about the deferments of the time. There were deferments for married with children, then just married, for teachers and many others including being enrolled full time in college or university. GWB is not the only man who took advantage of the opportunity, thousands did. He enlisted in a National Guard program as did thousands, the wait list for some was measured in months.

Before you vilify someones choices it might be well to know whatt you are talking about.

Oh by the way, I had several of those "phoney deferments" for my education and one for being a care giver for my quadriplegic best friend. The education was necessary for me to achieve my goal of Naval Aviation.
