If I had been a constituent of this individual and had the necessary
influence, how would you view the use of that influence to jump over
the list to join the National Guard in order to avoid possible
combat.

You should consider your blessings and make the most of the
opportunity.
You certainly should not bring shame on yourself or those who used
their
influence for such an extreme favor, especially knowing that you had
bumped someone off who was likely more deserving of the position.

Interesting.

How would you describe one person as being "more deserving" than
another in being bumped up the list?

They're more likely to have come by the opportunity honestly.

Allow me to rephrase.

What is the difference between being deserving or not deserving of the
use of political influence to obtain any given result.



It's just like the issue of money. To a liberal, the only people who deserve
it are the ones who don't have it.

So, let me answer for jps:
"The only people who deserve the use of political influence are those people
who have none."

There you go, putting a whole lot of people into one narrow-minded
catagory again. Another case of your simple blindness.
