Rep. Leonard Boswell (D-IA) - two tours in Vietnam, two Distinguished Flying
Crosses as a helicopter pilot, two Bronze Stars, and the Soldier's Medal.
http://www.afji.com/mags/1997/Jan/VietVets.html
Ambassador "Pete" Peterson, Air Force Captain, POW, Democratic congressman,
Ambassador to Viet Nam, and recipient of the Purple Heart, the Silver Star
and the Legion of Merit http://www.af.mil/news/Apr1997/n19970414_970430.html
Rep. Mike Thompson, D-CA: served in combat with the U.S. Army as a staff
sergeant/platoon leader with the 173rd Airborne Brigade; was wounded and
received a Purple Heart. http://www.house.gov/mthompson/bio.html
Bill McBride, Democratic Candidate for Florida Governor - volunteered and
served as a U.S. Marine in Vietnam; awarded Bronze Star with a combat "V."
Prominent Republicans
Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert - avoided the draft, did not serve.
Former House Majority Leader Dick Armey - avoided the draft, did not serve.
House Majority Leader Tom Delay - avoided the draft, did not serve. "So many
minority youths had volunteered ... that there was literally no room for
patriotic folks like himself."
House Majority Whip Roy Blount - did not serve
Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist - did not serve. (An impressive medical
resume, but not such a friend to cats in Boston.)
Majority Whip Mitch McConnell, R-KY - did not serve
Rick Santorum, R-PA, third ranking Republican in the Senate - did not serve.
Former Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott - avoided the draft, did not serve.
Secretary of Defense Don Rumsfeld - served in the U.S. Navy (1954-57) as an
aviator and flight instructor. Served as President Reagan's Special Envoy to
the Middle East and met with Saddam Hussein twice in 1983 and 1984.
GW Bush - decided that a six-year Nat'l Guard commitment really means four
years. Still says that he's "been to war." Huh?
VP Cheney - several deferments, the last by marriage (in his own words, "had
other priorities than military service")
Att'y Gen. John Ashcroft - did not serve; sought deferment to teach business
ed at SW Missouri State
Jeb Bush, Florida Governor - did not serve.
Karl Rove - avoided the draft, did not serve, too busy being a Republican.
Former Speaker Newt Gingrich - avoided the draft, did not serve
Former President Ronald Reagan - due to poor eyesight, served in a noncombat
role making movies for the Army in southern California during WWII. He later
seems to have confused his role as an actor playing a tail gunner with the
real thing.
"B-1" Bob Dornan - avoided Korean War combat duty by enrolling in college
acting classes (Orange County Weekly article). Enlisted only after the
fighting was over in Korea.
Phil Gramm - avoided the draft, did not serve, four (?) student deferments
Senator John McCain - McCain's naval honors include the Silver Star, Bronze
Star, Legion of Merit, Purple Heart and Distinguished Flying Cross. Why did
the Bush campaign smear him so? At least Senators Cleland (D-GA), Kerry
(D-MA), Kerrey (D-NE), Robb (D-VA) and Hagel (R-NE) defended him.
Former Senator Bob Dole - an honorable man.
http://www.bobdole.org/bio/wwII.html
Chuck Hagel - two Purple Hearts and a Bronze Star, Vietnam.
http://www.senate.gov/~hagel/Information/bio.htm
Duke Cunningham - nominated for the Medal of Honor, received the Navy Cross,
two Silver Stars, fifteen Air Medals, the Purple Heart, and several other
decorations http://www.house.gov/cunningham/about_duke.htm#Biography
Senator Jeff Sessions U.S. Army Reserves, 1973-1986
Colin Powell. What are we to make of Powell? On the one hand, a long career
as a military manager. On the other hand, accused of covering up the My Lai
massacre. Back on that first hand, one of the seemingly sane voices in this
administration when it comes to Iraq (or at least he used to be). On the
other hand, a clear hypocrite ("I am angry that so many of the sons of the
powerful and well-placed... managed to wangle slots in Reserve and National
Guard units...")
Representative Wayne Gilchrest (R-MD), served in USMC in Vietnam; wounded in
action.

Former President Bill Clinton - avoided the draft through student
deferments; in the autumn of 1969, Clinton entered the draft but received a
high number (311) and was never called to serve. (CNN article.) "...it was
his doubts about the morality of the war and the Selective Service system
that led him to abandon the ROTC idea and to subject himself to a draft
lottery. Only the luck of the draw - a high lottery number - kept him out. "
(Jeff Greenfield, ABC News, quoting Gov. Clinton.)
Former President Jimmy Carter, most recent recipient of the Nobel Peace
Prize, seven years in the Navy. "Except for his fellow service-academy
graduate Dwight Eisenhower, no President of the twentieth century spent more
years in uniform than Carter." (New Yorker Magazine)

Former Senator John Glenn, D-OH (1974-1999) - Served in WWII and Korea;

Rep. Darrell Issa, R-CA/49th, there were some problems with his service.

92 republicans, 64 democrats and 2 independents. Move over, there are
9 congressmen who are still in the reserves, all republicans.
Look at the democrats. Most served in WW2 or Korea. Ted Kennedy was
an example. As soon as the draft stopped, elected democrats stopped
serving.
