Giving up his student deferment, Jeremiah Wright joined the

Marines. Two years later, he re-enlisted in the Navy, where he

served four more years. In the Navy, he was trained as a

cardiopulmonary technician (seen here in 1966 as part of

the team attending to a post-op President Johnson). But

Jeremiah's patriotism never quite equalled Dick Cheney's,

who never gave up his student deferment, because, he said,

"I had other priorities in the '60s than military service."
