So yes, the point is the integrity of the medical professional. But the bigger point, as I have mentioned, is the NYT making it front page "news".

I see him.

He didn't do that.

Quote:Clinton set sail from New York to begin his first year at Oxford in October 1968. At the end of his first term in December, Clinton received a notice from the Selective Service instructing him to undergo an armed forces physical examination at a U.S. air base near London, which he took (and passed) on 13 January 1969.

He used his connections to delay his entry into the military...as he was a Rhodes Scholar and they changed the rules to include those when they were usually not before.  (Same link.)

But sure...Clinton.
