That has nothing to do with "Vietnam." Maybe he didn't want to go to
Korea,
or Germany. I never ever volunteered for overseas. It came fast enough
on its
own. If you look at my military records (dream sheets) they will all say
I was
a non-volunteer for overseas. Yet I served 8 years overseas.


How meaningful is that anyway for a Guard member? Wouldn't you go wherever
your unit is sent, regardless of your volunteer status?
