8. He Was Drafted For Vietnam

While he was attending Oxford University on a prestigious Rhodes Scholarship, Clinton received his draft notice. Returning home to Arkansas, Clinton called in some help from Senator J. William Fulbright (who he’d clerked for) and Arkansas Governor Winthrop Rockefeller to, ahem, sidestep that particular dilemma. It should be noted that the decision haunted him so much he actually put himself up for the draft some time later.
