Did President William Jefferson Clinton serve in the military?

Question

If so, which branch of the military did he serve in and did he serve anywere overseas?

Answer 1

Nope. He gave his word that he would join ROTC in collage, but then changed his "mind." He lied..What a shock!!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A complete account of Clinton's elaborate draft-dodge:

Eighteen-year old Bill enters Georgetown University and registers for Selective Service, as required by law. His status as a full-time student earns him a deferrment.

In his senior year, Bill receives a Rhodes Scholarship to study at Oxford University.

In February of 1968, the Federal Government eliminates draft deferments for graduate students and Bill once again becomes eligible in March of that year.

Clinton subsequently, though family and political connections, obtains a Navy Billet from the local naval reserve unit and temporary draft protection from the Garland County Draft Board, allowing him to start at Oxford - special treatment that was not uncommon for Rhode's Scholars of the day.

Clinton completes his first term at Oxford in December, 1969, and is ordered to report for a physical in January, which he did.

In April 1969, Bill was ordered to report for induction. However, delays in International mail delivery resulted in Clinton receiving his orders after the induction date had passed. By this time, he had begun his second term at Oxford. Regulations allowed him to complete the term, but he must report for induction by July 28, 1969.

Once again utilizing extensive political connections, Clinton gets accepted into the University of Arkansas ROTC program on July 17, nullifying his draft notice. Clinton would not have to enroll until he completed basic training the following year.

In the fall of '69, Clinton opts to return to Oxford, rather than enroll in the University of Arkansas Law School. While at Oxford, Clinton contacts the draft board to drop his ROTC deferment and return to active status. By this time, regulations had changed, allowing graduate students to complete their schooling before reporting for military duty. Clinton had a high enough draft number to virtually ensure he would not be called.
While his conduct may have been immoral and was undoubtedly unethical, it was not illegal under the laws at that time and, thus, the conclusion drawn that he was the first pardoned criminal to serve as President is fallacious. He craftily manipulated the system, but he had the proper and legal right to do everything he did. He was never AWOL, never guilty of failing to report, was never a criminal under public law and, thus, was not among those pardoned by President Carter in 1977.

Answer 2

Not only did he NOT serve in the military, he moved out of the country to avoid being drafted. He protested against the United States and the war in Vietnam. All through his political career, he was an opponent of the US military. Many people believe that the terror attacks on 9/11/2001 were a direct result of Clinton weakening the military and intelligence agencies during the 1990s.

Answer 3

Clinton became into merely an incredible negotiator, I advise think of roughly it he lied to a grand jury and senate investigating committee, and have been given away with a million) expenses on rape, 2) expenses of sexual harassment, 3) perjury, (of course this became into no longer the 1st time he or, Hillary, had gotten away with mendacity) 4) a divorce, ( now what's up with that, If I did that my spouse might slap divorce papers on me so quickly, and he or she might own each and everything I had. Hillary is a looser, or wait, in step with possibility she became into appearing some guy or gay ???too !! and could no longer open her super capture) any way you place it, i do no longer think of that any president factors up poverty, welfare, complete wellness care, unlawful immigration, or something so some distance because it rather is worried, via fact it rather is not any longer on the time table of the CFR, (council of distant places kinfolk) and Builderberger Boy's, or the european Commonwealth software, otherwise time-honored via fact the only worldwide ORDER. we ought to continually understand additionally that," WE the folk", have enable the powers of government do what they choose instead of what we want, if we don't upward push up we can loose this us of a all too quickly.

Answer 4

Clinton went to college in Britain during the time he was drafted to serve.

The people who believe that Clinton was responsible for the attacks on September 11th didn't read the 911 report. (and most likely don't read books at all)
