It's not my fault that you and FlaJim the other right-wing Asshole were
too stupid or lazy to get into a community college back in the day. Even
a state four year college back then was cheap enough so that a student
could pay his or her way with part time and summer job.


I suppose I could have found a way to chicken out.

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?


Yup, I could have chickened out.

Too stupid to take the coward's way out?
Think again Kayser Susy.


I turned 21 in boot camp. Guess I should have stayed for a worthless
liberal arts master.


I turned 21 in IBM school, learning a real job, after serving my
country. I imagine Harry was on a panty raid at U Kansas


I turned 21 while working at an auxiliary Air Force Base on Eleuthera in the Bahamas. Little club
right on the beach.

At 21, I was a full-time college student during the day and a full-time
newspaper reporter four nights and one day a week. I didn't have time
for panty raids. It's amazing how little of anything you get right in
these discussions.

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
http://gfretwell.com/ftp/johnson%20vietnam%20lie.mp3

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.

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 Th*ch Quảng Đức, 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 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

Harry you say Greg joined the CG to avoid viet nam? Therefore being a "draft dodger?"

That's really ridiculous thinking. No branch was immune to in-country service. He could have been called up anytime.
