If not, why was there a US flag on his coffin and a military honor guard at his funeral? I just saw a picture someone put out on FB of his coffin. Is it because he got the medal of freedom from orange menace?

People are free to be buried with any flag they want. He just couldn't be buried in a military cemetery.

4F for being a pain in the ass, that means a lot of the GOP got out of service for that reason.

CALLER: And Rush you never mentioned how you dodged the Vietnam draft.
LIMBAUGH: I didnt.
CALLER: Yes, you did. You claimed you had a boil on your butt
LIMBAUGH: No, you see, thats part of popular mythology that is out there that I have not whined nor complained about, Greg. But that is just a bunch of internet BS and hyperbole. Never happened. Was not the cause, wasnt the case.
