When I was "of age" for the military, there was nothing happening that
required the homeland to be defended. There was that mess in Vietnam, but
that was a war we perpetuated by taking over from the French, who got
their butts kicked there and left.

Ho Chi Minh had no designs on U.S. territory. He did work as a baker here,
though. And he did seek the help of the United States in evicting the
French from his country, but we paid no attention to him.

Who knows...had we really been a champion of democracy around the world,
we might have helped the Vietnamese after WW II achieve it. But we didn't.

So you never did join up. Figures, nothing happening is your excuse. What
is Obama's?

Yep, while busy with Vietnam were you smoking dope in protest?


Sign up for what? Killing people that were no threat to the United
States? Supporting a right-wing dictatorship? No thanks.
