-Caveat Lector- "So-called" draft dodging? So Clinton really served in Vietnam now? Selling arms abroad has nothing to do with supporting the U. S. Armed Forces. One is a business deal and the other a support of the national military establishment, the enlisted personnel, etc. While that may be deemed a business of sorts, the two have nothing to do with each other. If he sells helicopters to Columbia, the money does not go to get the people in the rank and file military off food stamps.
