Aren't you of Viet Nam era age? What branch were you drafted into?
We all see that you're too chicken to go kill muzzies and want someone else to do it; now that you are older.
But in your prime I'm sure you would have jumped at the chance to go kill some commies.
amiright?
my draft numer was 278

non responsiveAnd now that we have an all-volunteer military, of course, nobody is SUPPOSED to serve, so now all those who "let others die" while reaping whatever rewards they reap are just........good old law abiding civillians.
The right we have now for each individual to decide whether military service is "appropriate" for them or whether a specific war or American combat action is worth risking one's life for is widely accepted. I think it is good policy in most instances.
But I'll be damned if I will use what is a wise defense policy now to condemn those who exercised the same judgment during Vietnam, draft laws or no -- especially when a conscientious objector like Ali DID NOT flee the country and stood ready to go to jail.
And, no, the SAME LAW you maintain compelled him to serve absolved him from that service based on a decision handed down by the Supreme Court.
I had the advantage of a high draft number as well, and feel no shame or remorse because the laws, as enacted by Congress, made provisions for college deferments. But I learned to stop judging Vietnam veterans as "baby killers" and Vietnam war resistors as "draft dodgers" a long, long time ago.
But our use of the law -- yours and mine -- was not one iota less legal or "dishonorable" than the legal road taken by Muhammad Ali. So kindly eat a dick.

Ah, yes, the reward of being tried and convicted: http://www.chron.com/news/houston-t...go-today-Muhammad-Ali-refused-the-5435356.php That lucky, lucky bastard. Tell me, do you think it's more moral to make a stand for your beliefs as a conscientious objector, or to take a gun because someone tells you to, go halfway across the world, and try to kill people you've never met before?
