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.


Huh? Nobody is permitted to criticize Kerry if they weren't draft eligible 30+
years ago? Oh yes, a real constitution advocate you are. Why stop there?? Why
not just say that nobody is permitted to criticize Kerry unless they were fighting
in Vietnam? Which rice paddy were you earning your first amendment rights in
again? Shut the hell up indeed. By your logic an entire sex shouldn't be
permitted to criticize Kerry. We should just appoint him king kerry right now
because anything said that isn't a complement is out of line.

Using your supreme logic, Bob Dole can't even criticize John Kerry because he
doesn't have the proper military service credentials to do so.
