[Rhodes22-list] (political) response to Bob Skinner's post

[Herb Parsons]

Sure I was, but that doesn't answer ANY of my three questions.

I realize that MOST of those that joined the guard were trying to avoid 
Vietnam. That's not what is normally meant by the term "draft dodfer" 
(which usually refers to those that illegally ran from the draft). even 
Rummy doesn't call them "draft dodgers."

I'm still hoping to hear how Clinton fit in Cheryl's definition of the 
term. I suspect she'll have one set of definitions for "her choice", and a 
different set for others, much like th 5 percent issue on exit polls.
