Really? You think that it was just fine that able-bodied young men, the same age as us, should have avoided military service while we were fighting a war?
I'll never forget how it felt to come back on leave from combat in Vietnam and see all those guys. just standing around enjoying the day, watching football or something.
Yes, I'm bitter.
Not serving, especially during a war of attrition, is one thing. The harassment of returning people is something else entirely. I remember those days vividly. It planted the seeds for what’s happening today. They are the foundation of today’s democratic party. Like it matters, you have my permission to hate on those a$$holes all you want.
