It's not my problem that you were so ignorant of what was happening and
going to happen in SE Asia. It isn't because you grew up in the midwest,
because there was plenty of news available there and nationally about
the horrors of the Vietnamese government we were propping up. Basically,
you "dumbed" your way into that war. Couldn't you get into an open
admissions JUCO?

I suppose you could just say LBJ lied us into that war but you would
be defaming a famous democrat.
In 1964 when I signed my commitment for the CG, this is what he was
saying

The fear of joining the army at that time was you would be stuck in Ft
Dix, painting rocks white outside the officer's club for 2 years. I
wanted something more interesting.
I was hoping for a Florida life boat station.


Translating that into "Greg-Think," you joined the coast guard so you
could avoid the army and the risk of being sent to Vietnam as rifle
fodder. So...you were a draft dodger.

Nice try pussy.

Yeah, **** your country, duck the draft and get a jingle writing job.


Helping your country prop up a series of brutal dictatorships, including
one that resulted in ThÃ*ch Quảng Ä�ức, a Buddhist monk, setting himself
on fire to protest Christian brutality, is not an example of appropriate
patriotism. Oh, and your terminology is deficient, too. Continuing one's
education is not "ducking" the draft so long as one is registered. It's
too bad you didn't avail yourself of a formal higher education...you
might have learned some critical thinking skills.

I met and dealt with hundreds if not thousands of people during my
working career. They typically ranged from entry level tradespeople to
scientists and/or management personal with multiple Phd's. I don't
think I ever met anyone as narrow and shallow minded as you present
yourself here Harry. "Critical thinking" is not your forte, as
evidenced by your comments to any discussion here.

Millions of people in the world, including many posters to rec.boats,
have or had highly successful careers, accomplishments and made
contributions to society without benefit of what you regard as a "formal
higher education". Based on what I have deduced from your contributions
here, many are far more educated in meaningful ways than the high regard
you hold for yourself.

The only people I've met who think and sound like you are those who
chose (or were forced) to remain in academia for all their working
years. Yes, they have an abundance of knowledge, but most of it useless
in the real world.

i don't feel sorry for the monk. The only thing he proved is that gasoline and matchs will burn you badly burn human flesh if you combine all three


Well, of course you don't feel sorry for the monk, because he was a
buddhist protesting christian barbarism and gross discrimination towards
his people.

The reality is that the self-immolation by that monk helped bring down a
brutal government, albeit it was replaced by one that equaled it in
corruption. The monk's act and the spreading of the photos of it around
the world changed history.

What was the dude thinking? Surely he must have known he'd end up a
krispy critter for no good reason. He must have had suicidal tendencies.

Nah. If Trump wins, it'll just be further evidence of what I've believed
since Reagan and Bush II were elected, that the American populace is too
stupid to worry about. I will admit, though, to chuckling over the
death of Republican "conservatism."

History is full of religious martyrs who died for a cause. Where would
your religion be if the guy it is named after made a different set of
decisions, assuming for the moment that any of that tale happened as
described.
