Cheney had 5 deferments for the draft. From the New York Times article HERE

Away from the hearing room, he told the Washington Post that he had sought his deferments because "I had other priorities in the 60's than military service."

And Kerry's military history is an issue? And people called Clinton a draft dodger?

EDIT: Link seems to be broken, try HERE

With his health problems, that can hardly be a surprise. These problems may have even shown up in his younger days.

It wasn't health. School and marriage.

Interesting development for the U.S. elections, after the Kerry issues, if you ask me.


In an increasingly vituperative political campaign, Mr. Cheney this week again questioned the credentials of Senator John Kerry and his ability to be commander in chief. Mr. Kerry, who was decorated in Vietnam and has made his service there a central element of his campaign, fired back.
