Well, it turns out that Senator Joesph Biden, the Democrat vice-presidential nominee, received just as many student deferments to avoid Vietnam military service (5) as Cheney did!
And these were all before finally receiving a medical deferment at age 25 for the asthma Biden had as a teenager -- a condition, by the way, that he never even mentions in his autobiography.
Indeed, his memoirs reflect a very healthy kid whose teenage years included being a standout football player and lifeguard.
You wanna' bet this story goes quietly and quickly away?
