Yes, he did. He received a total of three draft deferments: one on October 19th, 1967; one on December 12th, 1968, and one on November 17th, 1969. When the guy who is always ranting about communists, socialists, Marxists and leftists had a chance to fight communism in the jungles of South Vietnam, he chose to run away to Northwest Missouri State in Maryville, Missouri. What a hero!
