He never served because he had options and was prepared to run off to Canada (ROTC) if drafted.  He also claimed a particular officer, Pete Hegseth, Cos played as a soldier.  Pete earned the CIB.

I have always been amazed at the "armchair" warriors. He is as phony as they get. Ever since he was humiliated on his knowledge of weapons, or lack of knowledge I should say, he still yaps and flaps those knob shiners.
