When Fritz Hollings (D) toured Vietnam, Westmoreland told him that they were killing Vietnamese at a ratio of 10-1.
Hollings corrected him saying that Americans don't give a damn about the 10, they care about the 1. Turned out to be right.
Americans got real tired real quick of Washington randomly selecting whose kids were going to have their lives turned inside out by being drafted and getting shot at.
“... Washington randomly selecting whose kids were going to have their lives turned inside out by being drafted and getting shot at...”
OK-and the alternative is...?
