On that basis I did not understand the Canada 'option," since I was not a Canadian. The draft lottery made the issue, personally, a moot one so I did not have to go to jail.<BR/><BR/>It is never reasonable to make soldiers responsible for the political decisions of others.Chuck Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13656874242638324636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22183958.post-24372959719561239782007-03-03T18:50:00.000-05:002007-03-03T18:50:00.000-05:00When I "volunteered" I knew right or wrong I must ...When I "volunteered" I knew right or wrong I must serve in any capacity Uncle Sam wanted...Would I ha dserved in Vietnam, No. I would have gone to prison, instead. When friends came back from Vietnam I neither praised them or argued with them I felt sorry for those injured and never had bad feelings for those that served. I also felt no hatred to those that chose not to go and served time. But I have never forgiven those that chose Canada and were given amnesty. With those in the Shrubs war, I feel very sorry for them, and I hope they come home in one piece and OK They deserve every piece of equipment for their safety and I despise the profiteers that cheat them. The GI's are doing what they think is best and that's OK with me...even if the war is stupid and for oil.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
