Even if true...a deferment was not a disgrace. Lots of folks were defered for medical reasons. Almost everyone that was in college applied for and received deferments (except very early in the war). Clinton did....even Kerry applied for one, but it was rejected (bad luck, poor timing). The lower middle-class guys who could not afford college bore the brunt of the war.

Some are born free. Some have freedom thrust upon them. Others simply surrender
