I had signed an "intent" letter with the CG when I was 17 but those are really not binding. It could be that I took JFKs words to heart "ask what you can do for your country". I was cognizant of what was going on in SE Asia while I was in college and immediately after, and felt a social obligation to speak out against the horrors we were perpetrating there to prop up a brutal dictatorship. I was working and obtaining a master's degree immediately after college, and while working at The Star was offered a government position that would have fulfilled a social obligation (agricultural assistance to farmers) in Vietnam, but by the time I was trained and ready, the position had been discontinued. Gosh, all that speaking out and you still volunteered to perform your 'Vietnam service', if you can be believed, which you can't. 'Agricultural assistance to farmers'? You knew more than the farmers? Or were you going to simply fertilize the Kansas wheat fields with your Krausescheiße? -- As I have stated here several times, I was "recruited" to become a federal employee and participate as a publicist to build support about several agricultural "pacification programs" aimed at helping small-scale farmers in Vietnam become more productive. Thus, while you were blowing up villages, women, and children, I was involved in programs to help better feed the populace and increase the meager income of farmers. See...even back then, you were a piece of ****. I'll guarantee you I spent more time and effort in civic action programs than you dreamed of. Let's see...collecting bodies and now providing agricultural assistance. Wow. -- Ban liars, tax cheats, idiots, audiophools, and narcissists...not guns! |

Dodging the draft was not really much of an issue because few actually got drafted and if you did, the worst thing that would happen is you would be sent to New Jersey. |

When was this? 64-65 Well guess what, I got drafted in '65 and they didn't send my sorry ass to New Jersey. I went to Leonard Wood. It depends where you were when you got drafted, or where your home was. I was working at Cape Canaveral, but requested, and got, induction in Kansas City. My home was in Sedalia, MO, at the time. -- Ban liars, tax cheats, idiots, audiophools, and narcissists...not guns! |
