Birthdate
Draft Birthdays

As you can see, Bush was was born on July 6th. When you input his birthday into the Draft generator is comes up with the number 327. It states clearly that...

Quote:

If your number is lower than 196, you would have been drafted

His number was not lower than 196 so he would NOT have been drafted.

So this means Bush is not a draft dodger since he would not have been drafted. So by joining the Texas Air National Guard he did more military service than he would have had to if he sat at home and did nothing.

Ridiculous. The lottery draft was started Dec 1, 1969. Bush dodged the
draft by joining the guard in May 1968. He dodged the draft BEFORE THE
LOTTERY STARTED.

When they use false scams like this, it shows how desperate the situation really is for them. If they were right, they wouldn't need to be lying, now, would they?

EDIT: Grammatical Errors.

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." -- Theodore Roosevelt (1918)

"The danger to political dissent is acute where the Government attempts to act under so vague a concept as the power to protect "domestic security." Given the difficulty of defining the domestic security interest, the danger of abuse in acting to protect that interest becomes apparent. --U.S. Supreme Court decision (407 U.S. 297 (1972)

Well, it's not like it's impossible that he just wanted to serve in the Air National Guard, is it? Wink

How did he dodge the draft if he was never going to be drafted?

Same with Clinton, he did not need to run off to Canada because his Birthday came up after 196 also.

So while Clinton was in Canada and Kerry was in Vietnam, Bush was volunteering for Vietnam in the Texas Air National Guard.

BTW, by that logic he 'dodged' the Draft before the lottery/draft was even announced.

Besides, out of the 600k+ American in Vietnam only 61k were Drafted.

Does it really matter? What matters is that he was under the impression that he might have been drafted...

Well, unless he was completely oblivious to the outside world, he would have thought he could be drafted.

If the Republican party or the Bush campaign was bringing this up, maybe... but it's just Nodbugger and he doesn't speak on anyone's behalf but his own.

I'm just sayin, because people piss me off when they flat out make statements that are not true.

Mostly the fucktard protesters that I see places, they have little sayings on their signs, but none of them are true.

Ah, yes, the odd grammatical error that I missed. But still, Noddo, if all you can come up with is that Bush wouldn't have been drafted, it means nothing. He joined the guard before the lottery was even around, playing it safe so that he wouldn't have to go to Vietnam, because we all know that Americans need to protect the rich ones.

13 Air Nationl Guard units went into Vietnam. The Nationl Guard was not a safe bet out.

Protest Warriors signs are true.

Nodbugger, saying that he didn't "avoid the draft" because he actually wouldn't have been drafted is just stupid. He didn't know that he would be lucky enough to not get drafted at the time, and before they did this lottery thing that your source explains, he had an equal chance of actually getting drafted.

So are you saying everyone that joined the military during Vietnam is a draft dodger?

BTW, that banner is just stupid. Since when is Bush invading Europe and killing 12 million, Jews, gays and gypsies?

Ah, okay, so if you enlist in the military, you're a draft dodger. I get your point now. :rolleyes:
