That's not my point, which is that if Dave were in the same position, he would likely* have dodged the draft as well, but have used his economic position to use a legal loophole to do so. Poor Americans didn't have deferments to avoid combat so they made do the best they could.I see posts where stones are thrown like this quite often, but never by an actual combat veteran. It's always some rock-thrower who got a safe passage. your pal, Fred *based on posting history and gut feeling. |
