How do you know that Romney protested for the draft, and then dodged it ? How do you know that he actually dodged it or is it that you just figure that he dodged it, just because he didnot go ? Many were against the war and didnot go, but that doesn't mean that they purposely dodged it..And the Romneybots fall silent...
I'll speak up. I lived those days. AND I was left wing back then.
We were being fed a whole lot of horse hockey to quote a great man. You had the most remarkable situation where JFK had only given advisers.
A position only slightly elevated from Eisenhower to the SV. JFK wanted to draw down, but sadly a very nasty afternoon in Dallas ended that.
Then LBJ jakes the crap out of the war. Democrat. He made a fortune out of Vietnam.
Do you want me to continue?
Oh yes, do go on. Your drunk ramblings in the morning are amusing...and have nothing to do with the topic. Most people are pretty sold on the whole "Vietnam was fucked up" storyline.
Romney protested for the draft and dodged it. Ali protested against the draft and dodged it. Conservatives have been slamming Ali for decades over it, but are now poised to vote for Romney.
