I didn't escape the draft. Like most young men back then, I wasn't
drafted.
And I wasn't so dumb that I would enlist to fight the people of
Vietnam or
for that corrupt regime in Saigon.
I know you were too smart to get drafted, enlist, or have anything
to do with the military except
work for that general in Vietnam.
Remember telling us about that? Were you over there protesting? Jane
Fonda in disguise?

I wasn't "too smart" to get drafted, Herring. I simply wasn't drafted.
Most young men my age were not drafted. You knew that, right? There was
no reason to enlist; I didn't believe the bull**** about Vietnam, and I
had no reason to want to kill the people of Vietnam.
I spent a month as a reporter and then six months later, about six
months in Vietnam, but as a civilian employee of the Department of
Defense. My job had nothing to do with killing anyone for any reason.
Protesting? I find it hard to believe you were actually supporting the
war effort. But, if you were
working in Vietnam for some general, that's what you must have been
doing. Your help is appreciated.
No, Salmonbreath, I wasn't protesting. My assignment was as part of a
team whose mission was to locate and arrange for safe removal and write
reports.
Unless it's more bull****, of course.
BTW. did you get about three inches of snow last night? I'm concerned
about your pair of owls down
by the creek. You reckon they're OK?
We got a skift of snow, just enough to cover the ground this morning,
less than an inch. I just put out some critter food for the neighborhood
foxes, raccoons, possums, groundhogs, deer, squirrels, skunks and, of
course, birds. The birds and squirrels, especially, like
sunflower seed and cracked corn, which we buy from a local feed store.
We feed birds, but those other creatures are just vermin. Why would you
encourage them to hang around your place?
Because every time he puts in a clumsily written troll, he gets another
thread to trash.
What a coward, hiding behind your "filters" but still insulting
everybody, low life.
