As your candidate would say,cackle cackle you coward. He is of that hippie culture that said any service to your country was for suckers. I agree there were plenty of other options. He could have joined the Peace Corps or the Public Health Service and fulfilled his military obligations. |

There are plenty of social "obligations" that are not defined in the constitution. It would have been easy for me to dodge the draft by hiding in school. 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? -- Ban liars, tax cheats, idiots, audiophools, and narcissists...not guns! |

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 had already enlisted before most people even knew where Vietnam was. After all it was a place where LBJ had just said we would never send "American boys". 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. |

I was in college full time and working full time until the late 1960s. |
