Summing it Up
I thought of something just now that sums up my feelings on draft dodging/evasion/military service/personal responsibility.
Imagine two students, one studies hard and gets an A. We'll call this person John Kerry. The other student skips class and gets an F. We'll call this person Bill Clinton. The actions of both men determined the outcome, and each can live with that. George Bush is the kid who skipped class but because his father was the superintendent he got an A anyway.

I'm not convinced Clinton got the F. Frankly, Clinton got the A too. He didn't get it because he was well connected, he got it because he was really really smart. It's like the kid in class who deserves an F but gets a B because he's already valedictorian and no one wants to be the one teacher to screw things up.
