no, I did time in the Marines.

Whereas my time was driving a ship in the Navy.

"some of my best friends are squids". wouldn't want my daughter to marry one,
of course, but squids are okay as long as they don't get uppity and forget
their place.

I always get a kick out of the different terminology used by the "military".
I frequently have to stifle a serious outbreak of the giggles, when some
Navy type comes up to me and tells me he/she is a "ship driver".
Actually, I frequently find myself tailoring my terminology to
accommodate the military (to a point) as I can understand their reasoning.

Really? How so? I'm still waiting for an intelligent question.
I'm hoping that you're at least capable of that. I know Jaxass
isn't.

if I had it I would have no problem declaring it. As it happens, I have
no
interest in such at all. No idea why anyone else would either. and,
joony, I
don't care to hear your rationalizations

Looks like you had no trouble declaring your homosexuality.

when the draft got to be really moving, most anything that breathed got
drafted.

I personally knew a guy with a wooden leg (car accident) who had to go
through
his draft physical, another who was 6'9" (two inches of the limit) who
was
drafted (he said they banged the measuring stick on his his enough
times
so he
snuck down a bit to ease the pain and they measured him at 6'71-'2").

In boot camp, everyone got a second physical to insure that all met
minimum's.
many ( 2 or 3 out of a hundred it seemed) didn't.

I doubt joony showing up claiming his preference would have kept him
from
serving. They would just take care to assign to the right general.

no, there is some reason I didn't serve besides my preference.

Dave & Scott,

Homo's were not drafted if they made it known.

I said, "I think it was because of his drug and alcohol problems."
I didn't say, "I have evidence that Bush didn't show up to his physical
because he was a drug addict or alcoholic."

Leader? I don't have a leader unlike you -- yours being an alcoholic.

In that case I think you should make your evidence available to your
leader,
Jonathan. I'm sure Kerry would be delighted to have it, and he'd let us
all
in on the secret you're carrying around.

For once, I agree with you. However, he has yet to say.
Is it possible he can't remember due to an alcoholic haze?

So now you're claiming that Bush didn't avoid the draft by
using his daddy's influence to jump to the head of the NG
line? That he didn't flake out on his responsibilities, failing
to show for his physical?

So perhaps tell me Mr. Dave, who is such a f*cking
expert on grammar, the military, politics, and simple logic,
why didn't Bushy show? I think it was because of his
drug and alcohol problems.

Maybe his car wouldn't start. Maybe his dog was sick. There could
have been a hundred reasons.




I'm Horvath and I approve of this post.

But you keep denying something that's so obvious.

sorry, dude. not interested.
