No, you didn't. I wasn't dumb enough to get drafted

Damn - you are such an ass sometimes.


Nothing personal, Tom. I'm just unimpressed by our entire involvement in
Vietnam, other than the horror of 55,000 American lives wasted, tens of
thousands of U.S. troops seriously injured, and millions of Asians killed
and maimed. Those losses I find tragic and impressive. The war was
a...what's that term you old soldiers like...cluster****, the dumbest war
we got involved in in the last 100 years, until our recent one against
Iraq. Blame for it goes all the way back to the SEATO treaty.

I didn't have to resist the draft, but I have friends who did. *They* were
right.


God, it must be tough to be you. You are very close to, if not *the* most
cynical, negative person I've ever listened to sprew forth their POV's.
