Clinton's
military history...
Posted November, 2002
Boston Globe - To the
Editor,
"Bush military role less than glorious"
- Nov. 12, 2002 by writer John Hamilton of Dedham.
Compared to Bill Clinton's 'military
record', George W. Bush looks like Sgt. York!
Here are the facts:
* Bill Clinton registers for the draft on September
08, 1964, accepting all contractual conditions
of registering for the draft. Given Selective
Service Number # 3 26 46 228.
* Bill Clinton classified 2-S on November 17,
1964
* Bill Clinton reclassified 1-A on March 20,
1968
* Bill Clinton ordered to report for induction
on July 28, 1969
* Bill Clinton dishonors order to report and
is not inducted into the military
* Bill Clinton reclassified 1-D after enlisting
in the United States Army Reserves on August
07, 1969 under authority of Colonel E. Holmes.
Clinton signs enlistment papers and takes oath
of enlistment.
* Bill Clinton fails to report to his duty
station at the University of Arkansas ROTC,
September 1969.
* Bill Clinton reclassified 1-A on October
30, 1969, as enlistment with Army Reserves is
revoked by Colonel E. Holmes and Clinton now
AWOL and subject to arrest under Public Law
90-40 (2)(a) 'registrant who has failed to report..remain
liable for induction'.
* Bill Clinton's birthdate lottery number is
311, drawn December 1, 1969, but anyone who
has already been ordered to report for induction,
is INELIGIBLE!
* Bill Clinton runs for Congress (1974), while
a fugitive from justice under Public Law 90-40.
* Bill Clinton runs for Arkansas Attorney General
(1976), while a fugitive from justice.
* Bill Clinton receives pardon on January 21,
1977 from Carter.
* Bill Clinton FIRST PARDONED FEDERAL FELON
ever to serve as President.
All these facts come from Freedom of Information
requests, public laws and various books that
have been published and have gone unrefuted
by Clinton.
Sitting next to me as I write this letter, is
a copy of SHEET 8 - SELECTIVE SERVICE CLASSIFICATION
RECORD - HOT SPRINGS, ARKANSAS, on which is
the name of Bill Clinton and 29 other registrants.
Columns 7 & 8 of SHEET 8, are blank for
Bill Clinton. There is no determination of status
for Bill Clinton, for either military or civilian
occupation, that would fulfill his obligation
as a Selective Service Registrant.
