What's your point?
If they helped bring that war to an early close shouldn't they be
honoured?


Honoring cowardly acts is not the American way. I'm surprised that Canada
feels differently.

Do you think they were all cowards?

Pretty much.


Oh yeah....
re "Honoring cowardly acts is not the American way."
Do I dare point out that your current president hid from service?

Maybe some didn't believe in an unjust war. Who was right once all the
bulls*it & smoke cleared?

Their running did nothing to stop the war, it just allowed others to get
killed in their place. Protesters protested right here in the streets.

What would you call the runners?

Now you are showing how little you know about American military service,
Active, Reserve, or National Guard.

Don!! You are drifting from the topic. To refresh your memory, Canada is
planning to celebrate the American draft dodgers who fled to, and were
welcomed in Canada. What say you about that?

Canada is doing diddley.....
read again...it's a group of BC activists..
quote "B.C. activists plan to erect a bronze sculpture honouring draft
dodgers, four decades after Americans opposed to the Vietnam War sought
refuge in Canada."

Canada is a true free country... if a bunch of flower granddads & moms
want to erect a statue they can do so. Canada isn't doing it..especially
as our new Prime Minister will be doing his best to be George W's new
little buddy.

Cool. They played a part in changing American opinion and in the end
making it easier for us to get the hell out of a country we shouldn't have
been in in the first place.

Harry, come on now. You are of that generation as am I. Vietnam may have
been for all the wrong reasons, but the draft dodgers who fled to Canada had
very little affect on the public's opinion of the war. The vocal protesters
did, as did the few, true conscientious objectors (Muhammad Ali, for one),
but the draft dodgers were faceless and voiceless people who were more
despised than revered, even by those opposed to the war.

My apologies to Canadian citizens who do not support the erection of this
statue. Thank you Don, for clarifying the planned event.

Yes, they were all cowards.

You have to evaluate the threat at the time. And, the threat was real.
Go read the major world news papers, outside the communist bloc, from
the time period and you will find that the action taken at the time was
correct.

Bert, Bert, Bert...get off your high horse. You never served in a
shooting war.

Never said I was in any action. However, I was available to be a bullet
catcher when the phone rang and I needed to be at the assembly point
within hours.

What branch of the military did you serve in, Harry?
