...sympathize with the young Clinton's moral turmoil about it; he was certainly not the only member of his generation to do everything he legally could to stay out. But even some of his supporters have trouble swallowing Clinton's contention that his eventual decision to submit to the draft was a moral act, when he wrote at the time that he wanted -- even at the age of 23 -- to maintain his future "political viability."
