... If my number had come up, I would have served...

My number was under the magic 196 on 12/01/69. They drafted to 195.

Didnt matter because I joined USN 6/68.

In 1969, I drew at 352.

I didn’t volunteer. I could see what the Left was doing and I knew they’d lose us the war. It seemed to me to be a lost effort and I didn’t want to be a part of it.

God I hated the Left in those days. Today it’s even worse.

I focus a lot of that anger on Jane Fonda. Here, Kerry, and other of their ilk in those days disgust me to the absolute max.
