I wonder what would happen if Bob Kerrey ran for President...after all, the Richard Nixon gave him the Medal of Honor and he lost his foot in 'Nam.

Not that they'd care...look at what Ann Coulter and Karl Rove did to Max Cleland, or Rove implying in the 2000 Presidential race that John McCain had been mentally affected (well, no shit!) by his stint at the Hanoi Hilton and was thus unfit to be President.

Rove knows so much about military service:

In December 1969, the Selective Service System held its first lottery drawing. Those born on December 25, like Rove, received number 84. That number placed him in the middle of those (with numbers 1 [first priority] through 195) who would eventually be drafted. On February 17, 1970, Rove was reclassified as 2-S, a deferment from the draft because of his enrollment at the University of Utah in the fall of 1969. He maintained this deferment until December 14, 1971, despite being only a part-time student in the autumn and spring quarters of 1971 (registered for between six and 12 credit hours) and dropping out of the university in June 1971. Rove was a student at the University of Maryland, College Park in the fall of 1971; as such, he would have been eligible for 2-S status, but registrar's records show that he withdrew from classes during the first half of the semester. In December 1971 he was reclassified as 1-A. On April 27, 1972, he was reclassified as 1-H, or "not currently subject to processing for induction". The draft ended on June 30, 1973.

I know a lot of guys, now dead, who would have liked a 1-H deferment....
