to serve in the military, was usually classified as a draft dodger. It didn't mean what he did was illegal. It was just pretty cowardly. However, to be fair, since Viet Nam was an unjustified war, and very unpopular, most draft dodgers were considered heroes back then. Young men were encouraged to be draft dodgers so I can't really blame Mittens for his use of his Mormon missionary status to dodge the draft, so to speak.

then have seemed to have emerged in their second lives as chicken hawks. They love war as long as they don't have to participate in it up on the front lines.

Demonstrating in pro-war actions & then taking his deferments.

"Chickenhawk" would probably have been the better word.

Call him anything that fits and draft dodger fits. Poster said he wasn't a draft dodger. Another said he's a chicken hawk. I say he's both.

He protested in Favor of the draft, but lacked the balls to serve America. he served the Holy Morman Church in France.

The kind of bar was non-specific, however, as an ex-bartender, I can swear I had many Mormon customers and many didn't drink alcohol but other things on the menu that could be made with fruit juice mixes and no alcohol like virgin pina coladas.
