What's your point?
If they helped bring that war to an early close shouldn't they
be honoured?

Honoring cowardly acts is not the American way. I'm surprised
that Canada feels differently.
Do you think they were all cowards?
Pretty much.

Oh yeah....
re "Honoring cowardly acts is not the American way."
Do I dare point out that your current president hid from service?

What branch of your military did you serve in?



Bert, Bert, Bert...get off your high horse. You never served in a
shooting war.

Never said I was in any action. However, I was available to be a bullet
catcher when the phone rang and I needed to be at the assembly point
within hours.

What branch of the military did you serve in, Harry?
Excellent question


Why does it matter? New rules? Nobody can talk about this if they haven't
served?

I thought it was a fair question since Harry was belittling Bert's
service. Talk all you want Doug. It's a free country. Justify the actions
of draft dodgers if you want. Your freedom has been secured by the
millions who have helped to defend this country and make it free.

If we were faced with something like WWII, I'd the lined up waiting for my
short haircut, just like you. But, you know as well as I do that some
military actions are done solely for political, personal, or pathological
reasons. The Spanish-American war, the Vietnam war, and the current Viagra
substitute in Iraq are all in this category. If some people believe it's
noble to serve even when the reasons are pathetic, they are free to do so.
But, not me.
