Maybe not his war, but it was his resposibility as an American citizen
to go when called.

I know several who went, a few who never came back, and most that did
come back have never been the same.

I did.

If I'da been of age and got called, I'da went! (And if I didn't, I
_certainly_ wouldn't have had the balls to run for president.) That's
just the way I was brought up. I didn't agree with the war either,
(espcially knowing what I know now), but you do what is expected of you.
(I wonder if the guy who went in Clinton's place ever made it back.)
By dodging the draft, he broke the law. Now he's President. Go figure.
