AFAIK it's a better Navy today. Smarter.
We were just prisoners....volunteer prisoners avoiding the Vietnam Army
draft.
I enlisted in the Navy when I was 16, about a month before JFK was
shot. Everything was done but the oath taking.
Took the oath and was in boot camp all in one day a couple months
later, the day after my 17th birthday.
My ma wouldn't let me go on my birthday.
Viet Nam and the draft had nothing to do with it.
I never had a draft card.
If Viet Nam had been hot when I turned 17 I probably would have joined
the Marines to fight commies.
A couple years into my Navy time there was a call for Swift boat crew
for Viet Nam and I volunteered.
They didn't want boilermen on Swift boats, so I never scored that
hazardous duty pay.
Like I said, smarter Navy today. Mostly due to better education,
better training, and fewer 17 year-olds.
And not a one of them is dodging the draft.

Do you still think Vietnam was about defending America, even after all
the exposed lies like Gulf of Tonkin, McNamara's bankers and defense
contractor friends, political payoffs, dirty tricks, etc.?

Duty - Honor - Country had nothing to do with it. America was never
attacked by a single Vietnamese until Americans entered the whorehouses
in Saigon. Vietnam was about SUSTAINED WAR so the Bankers of the Federal
Reserve Private Bank could loan out billions of dollars at awful interest
to the Federal Government to burn with defense contractors....EXACTLY
what Dwight Eisenhower warned us about as he left the White House....

.....as is all the wars the Bush-BinLaden family billionaires are running
today....

Money and Murder and Israel ....plain and simple.
