I'm much more interested in learning why, Rove, who apparently felt so passionately for Richard Nixon at the age of nine that he fought (and probably lost) a classmate over the matter, didn't serve in the military.
Sure, his draft number was in the middle range, bu why, oh why, were so many GOP/conservatives unwilling to. . .volunteer to protect America from the communist menace?
It wasn't as if mister dirty tricks remained in college long enough to obtain a degree. As a matter of fact, "[Rove] maintained this deferment until December 14, 1971, despite being only a part-time student in the autumn and spring quarters of 1971 (registered for between six and 12 credit hours) and dropping out of the university in June 1971." Rove attended the University of Maryland, College Park (Unfortunately, UMCP accepted any jackass in the early 70s. "As such, he would have been eligible for 2-S status, but registrar's records show that he withdrew from classes during the first half of the semester."
MC Rove went on to work for Nixon's 1972 reelection campaign (remember the condignly named CREEP) where he was instrumental in Rove depicting WWII bomber pilot, George McGovern (he flew 35 missions) "as a 'left-wing peacenik'", The manginas on these non-serving Republicans. . .
