If I'd not been rejected for military service I'd likely be in the military now, though probably not in a warzone (by now I'd be too senior to be sent into battle, instead being confined to a headquarters' job).
Can't help it that I was born too late for Korea, too early for Afghanistan (we were never in Vietnam).
It is amazing how many conservatives managed to dodge any actual military service - we have an administration full of warhawks who thought Iraq would be a walk in the park and yet they all had 'other priorities' during the Vietnam police action. You did not go to VN, did not spend any time in the military and still manage to 'know' what and who was a druggie. I have buddies who think if you haven't killed anyone, you don't get an opinion - but, sometimes, I wonder if at least some of neocons had pee'd in a foxhole, we might not have gone into Iraq
If we don't allow freedom of speech,
how will we know who the a-holes are?
