Bush joined the National Guard to avoid being drafted.
Cheney:
A lot of draft dodgers.
ETA: What I find sickening is how people who did serve, like John Kerry, are not given credit for their sacrifices. I seem to remember the Right attacking his service record during his presidential run... Many young men dodged the Draft, I don't find that in and of itself "bad." But we shouldn't demonize those who did serve in a very unpopular war.
Cheney:
Quote:In 1989, The Washington Post writer George C. Wilson interviewed Cheney as the next Secretary of Defense; when asked about his deferments, Cheney reportedly said, "I had other priorities in the '60s than military service".http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dick_Cheney
