Run In With Mr. Edwards

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.

You know, Jim, most people are nice in-writing, but go off half-cocked
in-person. You're the only person I've ever met that is just the opposite.

Many people will be ripping you to shreds for your argument that "almost
being drafted" makes you more qualified to comment on the Vietnam war.
Some may even point out that there is some guy up on that black wall in
Washington, D.C. because you chose not to go.

Not me. Although I think you're wrong, it was you guys in the Apollo
program that were the true heroes of the '60s. If only we had followed the
path laid out by NASA, rather than the path laid out by the "Great Society,"
we'd all be living in a much better world by now. (Actually, it might have
been a world other than Earth...)

Current arguments aside, we needed Apollo a helluva lot more than we needed
Vietnam.
