You had other options to do your duty. You were too cowardly to take any
of those available to you. 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.


You two have jumped the shark. There is nothing in the Constitution that
requires military or any other form of government service or duty, and
therefore there is no requirement, period. There was a Selective Service
requirement, and I complied completely with that. My "draft board" could
have called me up to report, but it didn't.

Some of you fellas "joined up" to avoid being drafted into the Army. My
guess is that FlaJim was socially promoted out of high school, and the
military was his only choice. His comments remind me of those of the few
high school dropouts I knew back in the day.

Your "hippie culture" remark is laughable. I worked within the system to
help pay for college, and I was part of "the system" immediately
afterwards with employment...hardly the choices of a "hippie."

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?

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.

Providing agriculture assistance could have been something as
complicated as shoveling ****, a skill he has demonstrated many times
and seems eminently well qualified for.

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.
