Looks like Cheney had an aversion to the draft during the Vietnam war.

http://www.cbc.ca/fifth/dickcheney/ascent.html

1965
NOVEMBER 1: Cheney gets his fourth draft deferment.

Cheney graduates and is once more listed as 1-A, ready for military service.

1966
JANUARY 19: When his wife was about 10 weeks pregnant, Cheney applies for 3-A status, the ''hardship'' exemption, which excludes men with children or dependent parents. It is granted.

1967
JANUARY: Cheney turns 26 and is no longer eligible for the draft.

LOL!!1!11!

I think we all know the Dick is a dodger.

For Cheney strangeness.

I was browsing the state elections pamphlet in Oregon and noticed something odd. The Bio for Cheney was omitted. He is listed on the long list of candidates on the second page in small type. But no Bio. Wonder why? Perhaps they think it is best we forget about him in the swing states.
