As you can see, it's better to have "others" do the dirty work while these guys reap the honors.

Any comments..............???????????

What else is new. I am 52 and during Vietnam I was elegible to be drafted. However, I was lucky enough to be a college student and therefore did not get drafted. The Vietnam war was for those who couldn't avoid the draft (or didn't know how to) because they were unable to enter college. Many others who were about to graduate became school teachers. The latter were not drafted. As far as I know anyone who had any brains was trying to avoid the draft during those days. I don't think that makes them any more or less evil than anyone else. Maybe the implication is that they are hypocrites. However, it must be remembered that in a debate a point of contention is no less or more valid if hypocrisy is in the mix. In other words---- If I give you a true statement it remains true whether I am a hypocrite or not.

LOL, some of it is funny, but some of it is incorrect. For example, George W. Bush served in the Texas Air National Guard as a fighter pilot, please do not put down the guard, it's another way of serving, and many units were activated and have served since the revolution. Another thing it points to is "lame excuses", but they do not take into account that the military will not take individuals with medical problems. It would had cost the government more later on in disabilities. Now, even Frank Sinatra is there, and he is dead! Did you know he was arrested for going out with a married woman back in the 30s? LOL, yeah, that was a no-no back then, so he did have a “rap sheet”..LOL. I did not see too many democrats in the list, so when an organization starts pointing fingers, they should go to both parties and point them out too.
