He registered for the ROTC to avoid the draft. When it turned out to be unnecessary, he resigned from the ROTC with his famous "loathing the military" letter. While thousands of young men his age were sweating out the draft, Clinton was overseas participating in protests against America. Name one Republican who did anything like that and I'll soundly condemn him, too.
As president, Clinton was Commander in Chief of all our military. That "loathing the military" letter was very bad for morale, as was Clinton getting a pass for doing the same things that military members got court marshalled for doing. As CinC, a president isn't subject to military law. However, if you hope to be considered an effective leader, "do as I say, not as I do" isn't the way to win people over.

Are both sides as guilty as Clinton was?
