Yes! After all these years I get to see a Vet call out one of these chicken hawks for their draft deferment(s). Happened on the Ed Show. Did anyone else enjoy this? Thanks ever so much Markos!

As a Republican student activist, Tancredo spoke in support of the Vietnam War. After graduating from the University of Northern Colorado and his student deferments ran out, he became eligible to serve in Vietnam in June 1969. Tancredo has said he went for his physical, telling doctors he had been treated for depression, and eventually got a "1-Y" deferment.
We could say he’s a chicken hawk, or that he faked it, or maybe that this proves he really IS crazy. But how about presuming that he really did (or does) suffer from a legitimate illness? Then let’s take him to task for not introducing some legislation to fix the desperately broken mental health care system in this country! That would prove that he understands the issue (as he would if he’d really had this horrible illness) and that he cares to do something so other American kids don’t suffer like he did.
You do not want to try to force Vets to use private insurers rather than the VA
