+Sure.  He had no chance of going to Vietnam or jail in

Clinton could have been arrested. Quayle could have been killed. (Do we
know how many National Guardsmen go on some training mission that
somehow went awry?) Maybe Quayle's dad wanted him out of the house for
once. :-)

Again, this is what I have on their military records:
From Mark Stencel in the Aug2092 Washington _Post_, here are the details
of military service of the candidates for President and Vice President.

* Governor Bill Clinton (ARK)
- Spring 1968: Classified 1-A (eligible for draft) while a student at
Georgetown Univ.
- Feb 1969: passed pre-induction physical during post-graduate studies
at Oxford, England. Received draft notice late Apr 1969.
"According to Clinton, who opposed the war, his local draft board in
Arkansas then gave him permission to finish the academic term. Clinton
returned to the United States that summer and, after failing physicals
for Navy and Air Force officer programs, enrolled in the Army's ROTC
program (Reserve Officers' Training Corps) at U Arkansas, providing him
with a draft deferment. Clinton has said he planned to attend law school
in Arkansas after another year in England but never did. In the fall of
1969, he asked to have his name put back in the draft pool but received
a high lottery number, 311, and was never called. That December he wrote
a letter to the commander of the ROTC unit in Arkansas explaining his
reasons for not joining the unit and thaking him for 'saving me from the
draft.' "

* Vice President J. Danforth Quayle
"Has said he favored the Vietnam War but grew disillusioned with US
strategy there by the time he took his pre-induction physical in 1969.
As he neared graduation from DePauw University in May 1969, Quayle spoke
to his parents about joining the Indiana National Guard in order to go
to law school. Quayle would only have had to serve six months' active
duty in the Guard and was unlikely to be sent to Vietnam. Quayle's
parents contacted his uncle Eugene S. Pulliam, assistant publisher of
the Indianapolis _News_ at that time. Pulliam contacted the newspaper's
managing editor, who met with Quayle and put him in touch with a Guard
colonel. The unit Quayle joined in Indianapolis that May was not full,
and he and his commanders say no special arrangements were made to
accommodate him. Quayle served in the Guard until 1975, the year after
he received his law degree from Indiana U."
