I love getting lectured about patriotism and morality by draft dodging uninformed racist reality show stars who collude with our enemies, obstruct Justice, undermine our institutions and pay hush money to porn stars. Don’t you?


Couple thoughts, Odoreida....

I protested against the Vietnam War but supported the troops then and now. I've spent time with hundreds of Vietnam Vets and do everything I can to help them.

During the war I supported all those who had a religious or moral reason for avoiding the draft. What I didn't support then or now are the draft dodgers who got special treatment simply because of who they were and how much money and prestige their family had. Those people got special treatment, the kind of treatment my friends, with dads who worked in a paper mill, never got.

Just as maddening were the many instances in which these same draft dodgers would eagerly speak in favor others fighting in wars like the one they refused to fight. I call them the Barco-Lounger chicken hawks....like Dick Cheney, like Donald Trump, and many others. They can wave all the flags they want but they don't hold a candle to any name on The Wall....or any vet suffering in a VA hospital or in their private lives as I write.

Using the words "draft dodger" isn't a "political tactic", it's a perfect description of the war mongers who loved to talk tough about killing enemies as long as someone else did the fighting in their places.

I buried the ashes of my Vietnam Vet who suffered with Agent Orange brain cancer. He got drafted....and went because he had to....so Donald Trump, the draft dodger, could play tennis and Dick Cheney, another draft dodger, could hunt quails. Lucky them. They knew somebody who knew somebody.
