I volunteered for Air Force in (guessing) 1970. They had issues with my
outrageously bad vision. I inquired about working on jets, but that idea
didn't fly, either. My father thought this was absurd, but that was the
story we got. A year of college went by, and by that point, the cat was
out of the bag, so to speak, with regard to Vietnam. Even my dad, a former
Navy pilot who was gung ho about the war five years earlier, said "This is
a serious mess we got ourselves into".


Wouldn't it just be dandy if we could all pick and choose a time to serve.
Doug, you have completely missed the point, but that's really not a big
surprise.

Have a Happy 4th of July.
