He enlisted in either March 1967 or in July 1967 and served at Fort Knox in the 100th Division (Training) of the U.S. Army Reserve until August 15, 1967. He was assigned Selective Service number 15-131-42-44.

Yes and no, appeared to have avoided the Vietnam war though as he was only in for a short time, stateside only then allowed to leave for alleged medical reasons, i.e. it was FIXED so he didnt have to go to Nam.

1. Wow, he's a regular Dick Cheney, isn't he?

Speaking of Five Deferment Dick, I've been wondering why everyone who is so worked up about HRC's e-mails isn't clamoring to know the details of the secret energy meetings Cheney had at the beginning of the Bush Administration, in which it has been strongly implied that seeds for the the invasion of Iraq for oil were already being sown.

2. You need to remember, the right will spend BILLIONS to destroy Hillary, because if they can

they stand to steal tens of billions, maybe trillions

What is on the table?

Social Security
Medicare

Taxes? Not on the rich, not anymore.

People are shortsighted and stupid, if the cons take the WH the misery to follow will be enormous, unprecedented.

If the Democratic candidate does not take the WH, abortion will be a crime, women and dr's will go to prison, extreme christian ideology will be the law, it will be illegal to be gay or jewish, etc.

Part of me almost hopes it happens so I can say told you so

Oh, the nuclear war they will start will shorten all our misery, so there is that

3. They will probably also follow Florida's lead and ban the use of the term "climate change"

and implement a host of other Koch-a-mamie ideas.

5. saw that, arrest Rick Scott today for crimes against humanity

4. I do wonder if there is some sort of spontaneous Conservative insanity?

McConnell is another symptom a regular Goldfinger.

Police shooting unarmed people and children, College students with racist limericks, U.S. Senators committing treason, invading neighboring.countries, resurgence of fascism, including neo con shades of Dr. Strangelove

Odd times we live in.

6. they need to be dealt with, all of them.

I dont know how, or where or when.

What I know is they declared war on you and I the day Obama was elected, we must understand that.

Problem is we cant fight their sickness without breaking the law or becoming them, in a way.

So for passive people like me, we are basically doomed

[gordianot]

7. As my RW brother in law found out the hard way I am not passive.

Nor do I tolerate verbal threats. There are limits.

8. I do not know what to do, the #47traitors will suffer NO punishment, and it is going to

get worse.

I dont know how much more good and decent people can take

[gordianot]

9. The #47 have set themselves up for epic failure and now are at the mercy of Iran.

All Iran has to do is make a deal not just with Obama but the entire world and settle the issue. Keep in mind the Republicans are now seen as traitors in their own country by what has to be sizable numbers . Bibi is not elected, or, the major powers decide that a war (possibly nuclear) is not in their best interest, Republicans lose big time. Almost the same thing happened in 1800's when the Federalist Party tried to undercut the Democratic-Republicans by negotiating with England bypassing the President. Guess what a deal was already made bypassing meddling such as the traitor Arron Burr. This why the Logan Act was written. Where is the Federalist party today? Who wants another war possibly nuclear? Iran can make peace out of pure spite now that their real enemy has put the cards on the table. My dream is that the #47 end up as men without a country. It has all happened before. The roots of our self destruction run deep.

10. I don't care if he was a war hero.

He's not getting either of my kids to use as cannon fodder.

[NoJusticeNoPeace]

12. Who was a hero? Oh, you mean Cotton. McConnell was a crybaby chickenshit

[NaturalHigh]

13. I was just saying that I don't care what he has done.

No I don't think he was a hero, but even if he were, my kids are off limits. I hope more parents feel the same way.

For reasons I won't get into, I regret that I didn't apply to the Coast Guard Academy or the Merchant Marine Academy, but I don't want either of my kids to have anything to do with the military.
