I went through Marine Corps Boot Camp in 1970 and the biggest challenge went on BETWEEN MY EARS! It was the greatest challenge and greatest change I EVER had experienced in my young life and I was much younger than Rather when he went through.

Rather should have been able to deal with it mentally, but in actually he couldn't handle it, and so he played the 'physically unable to perform' card! I saw it happen to recruits in my platoon who had plenty of physical ability but were weak in the mind and wussed out!

Rather WUSSED OUT!

I am new at this, so be patient. I have a question, and I do not know how to post one, or get information.

I know that Military Reserve Units, and The National Guard fought in every war up to Vietnam. The way I hear news people talk it appears no members of reserve units ever fought in Vietnam. That must be wrong, as I had friends who went to Vietnam out of Military Reserve Units.

How does the news media get away with refering to them as draft dodgers? After active duty I served a short time in the reserve,(as do most)and I don't think I was a draft dodger.

How would one get information on the number of Reservist and National Guardsman who served in Vietnam?
