Then, Jay, you are a generation behind me. You didn't SWEAT your ass going to
some rice paddy in Vietnam. You didn't LIVE your life hoping against hope that
your draft board wouldn't haul your ass out of college and send you with a rifle
to some country that you couldn't have given a rat's ass less about.

Me? I got lucky. My draft board thought that my work on Apollo was "in the
national interest" and I got a deferment. The engineer on the next desk wasn't
so lucky; he came home less his left arm.

You have absolutely no chops to criticize Kerry unless you were in the Vietnam
draft mix. You were not. Shut the hell up.

Lots of us blasted the behavior of our country at that time. This country was
wrong. We had no business being over there.

You wanna blast me? Come on. Take a piece of me. So far as I am concerned you
are a stupid jackass that DIDN'T serve in the military, that WEREN'T subject to
the draft, and have absolutely no CONCEPT of what either Vietnam, Iraq I or Iraq
II are all about.

shared these priceless pearls of wisdom:


-No, Kerry was honorable until he went on TV blasting the behavior of his
-country and his fellow soldiers, while the Viet Nam war was in progress and
-his comrades were still being held prisoner.
