Probably was
a good idea you hid out in the Coast Guard for a number of years,

Only the most twisted logic would define serving your country as
"hiding out".
I guarantee that if you ever actually took your boat out of sight of
land and something went wrong, you would suddenly get religion and be
praying that there were some Coast Guard guys "hiding out" near you.

They would not care that you thought they were stupid to volunteer and
that you wanted to cut their funding. They would rescue you anyway.

Your fantasies about what you imagine I think are getting the best of you. I don't recall ever saying that funding for the Coast Guard should be cut or that volunteering to serve in the Coast Guard was stupid.

The "hiding out" was a reference to avoiding the draft and being shipped to Vietnam as bullet fodder. If you were draftable, enlisting in the Coast Guard or the Navy (but not as a pilot) for the most part kept you out of a North Vietnamese rifleman's 10 zone.

I don't respond or even read most of the posts from the right-wingers here. Doing so would make me feel like the jackass whisperer.

No.* You are afraid of confrontation and legitimate debate.* You call the police if a guy ****es you off.* You lie.* You cheat on your taxes.* You are a mess.
