Karl Rove on John Kerry and John Murtha's Military service:

"They may be with you for the first few bullets but they won't be there for the last tough battles."

According to Senate Majority Report:

"Except for a lapse of several months, Selective Service records show presidential adviser Karl Rove escaped the draft for nearly three years at the height of the Vietnam War using student deferments. " [Walsh, Salt Lake Tribune, 9/18/2004]

Rove's (non-)draft history includes a period where he claimed a student deferment even though he had dropped out of school.
