Re: Uncle Remus-- I mean, Ted-- and Br'er Bear

I think I was 11 when that Viet Nam crap started with Kennedy. By time I turned 18 they introduced the lottery. I had # 326.
That's why I didn't have to go.
I lost some friends who did go.

Peace,
DLM



Laure, I was just kidding about Ted being stuffed.

Re: Uncle Remus-- I mean, Ted-- and Br'er Bear

I was all in favor of "Hell, no, we won't go!", myself. Had my bro's number come up, where he would have gone was Canada, most likely. Had we been attacked and invaded on our own shores, or facing the large-scale aggressions of another world domination-bent Hitler somewhere, it woulda been different. Hell, *I* woulda signed up. But hawk-squawking and then avoiding military service oneself do not incur my respect, either.

There were a lot or people who avoided military service during the Vietnam era, so that isn't the real issue to me. To me, the real issue is whether an admitted draft dodger has credibility when making bombastic tough-guy statements.

Huh?? Ya mean Unsteady Teddy never actually SAID he wanted to be stuffed?? Ha, well, it's kinda late in the month for an April Fool's joke, but hey, I'm game. I wouldn't put it past the Nugester to say ANYTHING gross and outrageous!
