Reminds me of a woman who told an interviewer, "I was told that if I voted for Barry Goldwater, we would be at war in six months. I did--and we were."
That’s the first thing I thought of. I wonder if they’ll dust off and re-use that old anti-Goldwater missile launch ad.
a friend of mine, a US Marine, had similar take. “I was told if I voted for Goldwater I would be sent to Vietnam. I did and I was.”
