Actually, you never answered the question.

To refresh your memory:

If you had the opportunity to keep your son out of the active combat
military to avoid Vietnam by jumping ahead of others and joining the
National Guard, would you?

What to **** does THAT question have to do with ME???? Fritz said that
I whined. I've never been asked the above question, and therefore have
never offered an answer.

Allow me to establish the thread:

DALLAS (AP) - Former Texas House Speaker Ben Barnes said he is ``more
ashamed at myself than I've ever been'' because he helped President
Bush and
the sons of other wealthy families get into the Texas National Guard
so they
could avoid serving in Vietnam.

I posted this:

So if I were somebody who could have joined the National Guard to
avoid combat status does that make me smart or stupid, brave or
cowardly?

You posted this:

In the case of GWB, and other well to do people of Texas, in this
case, it would make you privledged.

What if it were your son and you could get him out of Vietnam this
way?

Be honest - would you do it?

Later,

Tom

Which you never answered and I'm still curious what it will be.

Check out the thread if you don't believe me.

By the way, there is no reason to use harsh language - it's just a
simple question.


bassie's neurons misfire every now and again. What begins as swearing,
quickly progresses to threats about snapping someone's neck or spitting in
their face.

Only when provoked. Sorry that you don't have the balls to stand up for YOURSELF.
