They deserve far more respect than any Vietnam draftee.


You might want to check yourself in regards to that statement.

Agree. Perhaps just a bad choice of words on his part?


Why? Simply because you are both Vietnam draftee Vets?
If you volunteer to go to Vietnam - then you can exclude yourself.



Nobody chooses war and all those that have gone deserve the same respect.

That is correct. Draftees, enlistees, white, black, hispanic, asian etc., etc.

Thinking about that, a friend of mine fought in WWII... I had the pleasure of
staying with him and his family in Munich a good number of years ago.

He fought on the German side, and was captured by American forces. He said that he
was treated very well.

I always respected him because he fought for his country, whether I agreed with
his 'country's' side or not.

He recently passed away, and will be sadly missed by his family and friends.
