Rarebird, I have no problem with opposing the vietnam war- I was in elementary school at the time but in retrospect I suppose I would have opposed it had I been old enough to form an opinion. In fact, I think the US uses its military more than I would like them too. My problem is I see a draft dodger as Commander in Chief as a slap in the face to all War veterans. I have yet to meet a war vet who likes Clinton although I'm sure there are many. My father and six uncles served in WWII . It's not difficult to have higher morals than Bill Clinton -g- Mike

I took the student deferment route, and yes, I was against the war in my college years. But I believe a man is represented by the truth of his words, and Bill Clinton is a liar. I have no respect for him at all. And I am a former Air Force officer, having entered voluntarily after the Vietnam debacle.

And, by the way, morality is a universal concept. Others, such as Bill Clinton may make up their own set of rules, and have the power to have those rules respected on the face of it, but the common sense of the people will decide in the end. Clinton's legacy is toast.
