Rob; thanks for saying what I was thinking. I have far more respect for someone who refused to be involved in a war we had no business being in...and for me, that's every war since WWII.

It's funny to see how people have judged presidential candidates on
their service or lack of it since Clinton. He was the first president
that came of age in the 1960s.

I was a kid in the 60s, came into my teens in the 70s. Ever since I
remember, dodging the draft was a good thing. Sometimes I guess I'm in
my own world, but it's still funny to hear people talk about that
being a bad thing. Being a child of people that went back to the land
in the 60s, I just grew up thinking that burning drat cards was a
brave thing to do.

It's really funny to hear people my parents age (old hippies) talk
about how Clinton or Bush didn't serve. Wasn't that what they admired
in the 60s? I guess not everyone did or they just forgot.

I remember being 16 or so and a lot of the thought me and my friends
had was what a hard act our generation had to follow with the hippies
and the 60s and all. I don't think we did any better. I guess becoming
Yuppies was just as bad as being at the cusp and then forgetting you
ever got there.

Glad I did not do the Yuppie thing.
