McCain was not drafted, he volunteered. You forget that he was an officer and a pilot.

And Clinton wasn't the only one who shied away from military service.

John Kerry only volunteered when his final deferment was denied, Bush II served in the National Guard, and Al Gore served his time as a clerk/typist with an armed body guard because his father was a former senator.

None of them ever saw combat. Kerry's purple hearts were a farce, the most serious one being won when he was hit by shrapnel from a grenade which he himself threw.
