Larry, this is like "shooting the messenger" (pun intended). And they admired the draft dodgers who escaped to Canada. Stupidity is not limited to the government...
I did not serve in the US army, but in a different country overseas where we grew up knowing that service and sacrifices are necessary for the the country's existence, and it is a person's obligation to pay his nation back. Things were different 40 years ago, when I served... But unfortunately thanks to politics and stupidity (aren't these synonyms?...) , many of the sacrifices (both here in the US and overseas) were for naught.
I have utmost respect for those who served, willingly or not, salute them and thank them.
