Not really. The majority of people in the military in the late
60s/early 70s were nowhere near SE Asia. We had lots of people in
Europe, Navy guys who were never attached to any ships affecting the
war even if they were in the Pacific along with everyone in the other
oceans and all of the guys in the USAF who were on SAC duties.
Then there were just the ones who never left the USA. (a surprisingly
big number)


You did notice I posted “in Vietnam,” right? That is pretty clear even to a
non-debater.


So, you excuse Al Gore?



English is not your mother tongue, eh? Figured that was the case. Try it
again:

"If you were in the military *in Vietnam* in that era, the odds were you
were either killing Asians or facilitating the killing of Asians."

Now, what part of that sentence did you not understand?


I was simply pointing out most of the people in the military were not
*in Vietnam* no matter how hard you try to flog the "killing innocent
Asians line" when you tell us why you avoided military service.
