   ³  I am angry that so many of the sons of the powerful and well-placed...   
   managed to wangle slots in Reserve and National Guard units...Of the many   
   tragedies of Vietnam, this raw class discrimination strikes me as the most   
   damaging to the ideal that all Americans are created equal and owe equal   
   allegiance to their country."   
   (Colin Powells autobiography, My American Journey, p. 148)   
      
      
      
   Newt Gingrich  avoided the draft, did not serve.   
      
   Dick Armey  avoided the draft, did not serve.   
      
   Tom Delay  avoided the draft, did not serve.   
      
   Trent Lott  avoided the draft, did not serve.   
      
   Elliott Abrams  Sought deferment for bad back.   
      
   Richard Armey  Sought college deferment, too smart to die.   
      
   Bill Bennett  Sought graduate school deferment, too smart to die.   
      
   Pat Buchanan  Sought deferment for bad knee.   
      
   George W. Bush  Turned down as too dumb for graduate school or law school   
   so daddy had to get him into the Reserves. He MAY have learned to fly   
   jets, if he did, the type of jet he says he trained in was no longer in   
   service in Viet Nam at that time. He then proves how brave a patriot he is   
   by going AWOL from the Reserves for over a year (which means he deserted).   
   It is important to note that George Bush Sr. likes to tell how he is a   
   WWII hero   
   (you only find this version in publications funded by Bush backers). He   
   says he bailed out on a mission because his plane was hit, on fire and   
   going down. Unfortunately for Lieutenant Bush, the official day log entry   
   of the Tailgunner in the plane ahead of George Sr. wrote that he saw only   
   a puff of smoke, no flame, no loss of altitude or control and only one   
   parachute  that of the pilot ejecting immediately.   
      
   Dick Cheney  Sought school deferments five times, too smart to die, wanted   
   to live so he could make millions off of the taxpayers without ever   
   working.   
      
   Jack Kemp  Sought medical deferment while still playing in the NFL.   
      
   Rush Limbaugh  Sought deferment for ingrown hair follicle on his butt   
   (bizarre but true).   
      
   Trent Lott  Sought deferment, didn't want to muss his hair.   
      
   P.J. O'Rourke  Sought deferment, too stoned.
