But Biden Isn’t Cheney!

The left always threw out the fact that Vice President Cheney received deferments from serving in the military. Well, it would appear he was in good company…

Democratic vice presidential nominee Joe Biden received five student draft deferments during the Vietnam War, the same number of deferments received by Vice President Dick Cheney, and later was disqualified from service because of asthma as a teenager.

According to the documents, Biden, 65, received several deferments while he was an undergraduate at the University of Delaware and later as a law student at Syracuse University. A month after undergoing a physical exam in April 1968, Biden received a Selective Service classification of 1-Y, meaning he was available for service only in the event of national emergency.

It’s amazing how life can constantly present so many wonderful surprises.

    Bill Clinton thumbed his nose at the draft notice and refused to report, which makes him a draft dodger. But that’s OK cuz he is a democrat.

    Don’t expect the Biden story to go very far.
