Teach said: Why is it a non-issue, Silke? It was HUUUUUUUGE when in 2004 when Cheney was accused of the same thing, and Bush was said to have dodged Vietnam service.

Because in my opinion it was non-issue back then.

Besides what does that have to do with Obama considering high level assaults in Pakistan?

I bet you didn’t do it to bring a camera with you like Kerry did, GM. Patriotism comes from within on the Right.

John, I am simply illuminating a liberal meme. I don’t really care if Biden did what he did. And, like with GM, good for you, meant in all seriousness. Me, I am 41, and I have severely shattered my ankle and leg, 1984 and 1990, respectively. Wasn’t going to happen.

WOW DM that is soooo cool !! care to share any close combat war stories with us ? After most of the cartilage was pulled from my right knee and I went from 1-Y to 4-F in 1968, does that make me a chicken dove also ? But I still spent 18 months over there;12 months mostly living in a Thai monastery in Asia, also in Cambodia and Laos. When was the last time you were over there for me 2000 when I went to visit my sister who has been teaching law in Cambodia since 1994.
Not being a young man like Teach I of course never got the opportunity to fight in the GWOT

I went from 1-A to 4-F to 1-A in less than a year. Why? To serve.

Is the Vice President also a chickendove? Does this mean we should not have gone to war in Iraq because Dick Cheney also received five draft deferments?

Come on, Teach. This is a non-issue.
