The war time draft.
This US Army veteran did not serve overseas so that rich draft dodgers could get off scott free! I have too many friends on the Memorial wall in Washington to be indifferent.

" Nov 11 20 11:57 am Link Which war are we talking about? Which draft dodgers are you referring to? Nov 11 20 12:18 pm Link JustHenry wrote: Is that a question?

That reading comprehension thing you were on me about? :-) I'm glad I struck a nerve. So why wasn't it obvious? Well, I've got this thing called a day job and was doing a quick check in during a semi-break with about a dozen distractions from my day job so yeah I probably could have done a better job of reading that one. However, "over seas" is generally one word not two. On top of that I misread "this" for "the" and I saw the post was coming from outside the US so adding all that together I was making sure it was question and not a statement. Nov 11 20 01:47 pm Link War? What war? I didn't write anything a about war. And dodgers, well, the dodgers won, you know that right? Nov 11 20 01:53 pm Link Well played, you saw the trap developing and avoided it. Nov 11 20 02:36 pm Link This concludes my participation here.

Or are you only upset with the rich guys that found a way around the draft? What about Bill Clinton? Are you upset with his draft avoidance? Nov 12 20 09:46 am Link |
