Moron.

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."
