A war based on lies that just got too many GI's killed. Now these same lying scumbags and their ilk are doing it again. And the trouble is, most people in the US are like "good Germans and just follow along. The US is becoming like 1936 Germany.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8395959113568829045.post-54228492238583081242008-09-28T15:54:00.000-04:002008-09-28T15:54:00.000-04:00miss em,I must not have been clear. A Chicken Ha...miss em,<BR/>I must not have been clear. A Chicken Hawk avoided the draft by manipulation--avoided service and let another serve in his place. I would never consider someone who tried to enlist and was barred from it a CW. To the contrary, I admire their resolve. The people I am criticizing actively avoided the draft and became patriotic about service when they were no longer eligible to serve.

It made his life very difficult during and after that time. He was very ashamed that he could not serve as others had.<BR/><BR/>I listen to a talk show host that could not serve due to asthma and it was his dream to be a Marine pilot like his dad. <BR/><BR/>So take the time to discover if your ridicule is deserving.Miss Emhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14441825597709556390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8395959113568829045.post-19876868657302453202008-09-25T09:56:00.000-04:002008-09-25T09:56:00.000-04:00The Thunder Run has linked to this post in the blo...The Thunder Run has linked to this post in the blog post <A HREF="http://thunderrun.blogspot.com/2008/09/from-front-09252008.html" REL="nofollow">From the Front: 09/25/2008 </A> News and Personal dispatches from the front and the home front.David Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18153191536633461987noreply@blogger.com
