He didn't go anywhere to avoid the draft. He got student deferments, then arraigned for an place in a National Guard Unit, but backed out of it when the draft quota fell so the lottery was no longer very risky. His number was not drawn.
I just check my facts: He did spend time in England but he was in contact with the draft board, and had a student deferment, and It was an ROTC program not the Guard. It was Bush that joined the Guard.

Clinton replaced right into a weasel like numerous politician that prevented the draft for the time of the Nam years. a minimum of McCain proudly served and took his lumps confusing. McCain deserved to win in 2000 yet for the reality that Bush had a properly-financed device.

The truth is, that Bill Clinton was a Rhodes Scholar, attending Oxford University!!! (That's in England!) ~ Bill Clinton's ability, as a scholar, made his education a much more profitable enterprise, for the United States, than his Military Service would have been!!! ~ I can, therefore, excuse the fact, that he never served!!!
