I was draftable, but joined instead.

It was Vietnam era. You don’t have to tell your story. I already know it; lived it along with 10s of millions of young men our age who had the same decisions to make at the time.

And especially after the government gave up trying to win that war in about 1969/70.

Looking at this Guardasil reaction, it is clear to me that Perry has just shaped the debate again.

The next debate will be about healthcare.

Which brings up an awful lot of anger in me. Which is why one more of our kids dying in Afghanistan or Iraq is a crying shame.

When your government stops trying to win a war, and is just holding on for some pre-determined date to depart, then you ask how they hell they can live with their consciences.
