Clinton and Military Service
Thank you, Jack Diggins, on your column (“From War Protester to Commander in Chief?” Commentary, Sept. 24) regarding the non-issue of Clinton and the draft, and whether or not he would made a President capable of making major decisions in times of war and diplomatic crisis.
As the article points out so clearly, Bush despite his military service is no political or military genius, and has waffled a number of times in the recent past. So one can readily turn his phrasing around; point it back at Bush and ask in regard to the Iran-Contra affair: “The fundamental difficulty is that he has not told the full truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. And I think therein the American people are entitled to an explanation.” Now there’s an issue!
