None of that is a surprise to me, and I've repeatedly said that there are some boomers who did do the right thing. I've also noted that there were more who did not. None of what you said contradicts that. I know the general history of the Vietnam war. How does this change the behavior of boomers who fled overseas and turned universities into enemy strongholds, those who created the perpetual anti-war movement and still staff it to this day in farcical attempts to replay that war? And then we have the John Kerrys and Al Gores who did go to Vietnam and still ended up traitors to the nation afterwards.
If you have the answers, maybe you should go to some of the VA hospitals and tell the Vietnam Vets why they were drafted into that war..
John Kerry and Al Gore are examples of privileged children who got special treatment while "serving" in the military. John McCain's father was an admiral. That got him into the Naval Academy in spite of a poor academic record. He went on to flight school and managed to crash 5 airplanes before crashing the 6th one in Vietnam. McCain parlays his military service as cover for his policies that are indistinguiable from Al Gore. Clinton dodged the draft, secretly renounced his citizenship and bad-mouthed the United States on foreign soil. His handlers "fixed" the citizenship problem. The leftist, druggy fruitcakes of the 60s got lots of attention from the press. Many more of that generation received draft notices and served honorably in a sham war conducted by politicians who hated the military.
