And people like Nixon who had a built-in religious excuse not to fight in the war (he was a Quaker), still went and fought in WW2, while people like Clinton literally weaseled their way out of Viet Nam.It's iteresting that 7 straight Presidents took some part in a 3 year war (World War Two) while a total of 0 took part in Viet Nam which lasted about 10 years.
In World War Two people like Kennedy used their influence to get into the war, while people used their influence to get out of Viet Nam.
