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.

Cowardice had nothing to do with it. People went because they had the
balls to stand up to their political, religious and personal
convictions. They didn't like the reasoning for the war, realized it
was absurd that we were there, and didn't just lemming-like join
because everyone tells them that it's honorable to your country to go
kill a bunch of innocent people.

They could have gone to jail like Muhammad Ali. Instead they ran as fast
as they could to Canada to hide.
