Yeah, because U.S. military adventurism has turned out so well for us



since the end of World War II, eh?



Harry, you should have taken advantage of it while you could have. I enjoyed my stint.





Sorry, Tim, but I was never drafted

Hmm, I wasn't either.

and signing up just encourages militarism.

Really? I thought it was enlisting to defend your country.

Beside, I thought getting an education and starting a career
were more important than killing SE Asians who posed no threat to the United States.

Not everyone who served during the 'Vietnam Era' went to Vietnam, Harry.

The Soviet Union was a real threat, though.

Speaking of... I had a cousin who was stationed in Germany and his job was to keep an eye on Brezhnev and the Roo-ski's. Another found himself in Hawaii, spookin' on Che Mong Shin[sp?], and Chairman Mao.

Oh yeah. in the late 60's, the cousin in Hawaii, well... his brother-in-law served on the U.S.S Skate. They served with pride and not a one of them touched shore inSE Asia.



We spent a lot of time in Germany practicing a defense for a Soviet attack through the Fulda Gap.
Took it pretty seriously too.
