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. --Vic 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. Paranoia is one of the first steps of several brain disorders including Alshiemers. I know this was misspelled, but right click on the word and see what the spell checker brings up! G |
