just saw evening news. I have forgotten, by some reasons, how long it has been since that "war" was actually a war.
50 years.
I was 10, my brother with a Big Red 1 on his shoulder had only come home from the Cuban missle crisis, sitting on a boat for months, very shortly before that date.
He made no bones about telling me NEVER to be a part of war. Funny, and as young teen, I protested, and then realized the protesters that were spitting on those that HAD to go, were simply douchebags.. changed my thoughts.. and when I turned 18, the year the draft became a "lottery", but as a result they were taking 19 yr old's only, my number came up 6...
the following year, i was somewhere near 300, so it did'nt matter.
thank all my predecessors, I would have done what was asked, without running to Canada.. like some did.
full respect, and Semper Fi
