Why be a man when your Daddy's friends can get you into the National
Guard ahead of the waiting list?

Absolutely. Canada is the choice for Desserters, as well as appetizers.
Quebec is the best choice for desserts, but I know that Canada has won many
culinary dessert awards. Thanks for the compliment. I hope you continue to
boycott Canada. We would make mincemeat out of you and enter you in another
dessert competition.

I've never met a Vietnam vet who had any problem with people who went to Canada
to avoid the draft -- at least they had the courage to take decisive action for
something they believed in. And in retrospect, they were probably a lot smarter
than those of us who were duped into volunteering for a war fought in such a
half-assed way for such half-assed reasons. (Apart from some Domino Theory
equivalent, why are we so bound up in the defense of South Korea, Taiwan, and
Israel now? Why do we care enough about any one of them to put ourselves at
risk?)

I went to Montreal and looked up a couple of friends when I returned from Nam in
'70. The people up there were a lot more sympathetic than many Americans I
encountered at that time.

The radical left are the ones that treated the vets badly are the same type
of cowards that fled to Canada. America, land of the unappreciative. But at
least Canada has our back if there is a large invasion of walruses or
equally dangerous foe.

I was IN the radical Left during those times and no one I knew
treated the Vietnam Vets badly.We knew they were NOT the enemy.Quite
the contrary,we tried to win many of them over with the argument that
it was a war minority and working class white kids were fighting on
behalf of a clique of rich old farts who cared not one iota for their
well being.
So don't get it twisted.Our chant was"Hell,no,NOBODY goes"not "Hell
no,WE won't go"which stinks of class and race priviledge.

Minorities served and suffered casualties at about the same % of their
representation in the general population. As did white males.

Really? Look at the federal budget that was passed the day after Bush
invaded Iraq. The budget, which Bush approved contained many cuts for
war veterans. So don't tell me that Republicans give a damn about
veterans because they don't. Bush's VA budget cuts were the front page
story on the Wall Street Journal the Wednesday before Bush invaded Iraq.

Fiscal policy in the United States is set by Congress and only Congress can
approve the spending or cutting of spending in the federal government. The
American president lacks such authority, which admittedly robs the
president-bashers of a lot of hysterical hyperbole. If you'd like to
influence or do something about federal spending or lack of it, you need to
contact Congress. KM

Right! Let's boot out all these spendthrift Republicans! It's the
Democrats and just a few conservative Republicans who are clamoring
for a balanced budget. Clinton undid the Reagan deficit mess when he
agreed with the Republicans and now Dick Cheney says, "Reagan proved
that deficits don't matter." The utter gall of this man! What he
really means is "If Democrats want it then we don't, but we reserve
the right to change our position if they do."
