No, you're a draft dodger just like George W. Bush and Dan Quayle. A real hero would have volunteered after running out of deferments, commanded a swift boat, got 4 purple hearts and spent Christmas in Cambodia in 1967 or 1968.
I did a bit over 3 years in the Army right at the end of the Viet Nam era. 1974-77 Then I did 5-6 years in the Army Reserve as a NCO academy instructor. I was an E-7 when discharged in the middle 80's.
The only combat I saw envolved intoxicated GI's in the bars of Grafenwohr, Germany while I was over there helping to protect the free world from the scourges of the godless communist.
Ditto that for me.
