Sorry, the GWB line about draft dodgers doesn't fly any more. They were mostly people whose morality had outgrown the immature rule-based system people seem to criticize them for not growing INto, and history has pretty much shown them to be right.

Or in other words, the fact that Ted may have dodged the draft for selfish reasons doesn't negate the fact that most draft dodgers did it for moral reasons that outweigh military service.
