Rudy the draft dodger!
"After receiving several deferments as a student, Giuliani applied for an occupational deferment as a law clerk, but his application was rejected. Giuliani appealed their decision, and asked the federal judge he was clerking for to petition the draft board for him. Which the judge did. When his deferment expired in 1970, Giuliani became susceptible to the draft. He received a high number and was never called."

6. Of course--they ALL support the war! Don't want to actually BE in
a war, but certainly think war is a great idea...for other people.
