"The problem is, Westy, "Volunteer" armed forces vs. "Drafted" armed forces...but nice try! Don't get discouraged, drop in another quarter!"


The subject isn't about "volunteer" vs "drafted" armed forces.  It's about draft dodgers, a small town in Canada and honor.

 I just wanted to make sure the folks pissing all over the guys who ran to Canada don't forget about the other species of "draft dodger."  The type who ironically are standing at the helm of the current US adminstration and for whom most in this topic are sycophantic rabid supporters of.


 WTG for the head-on try.   At least be in the in the same grid as your target next time.

I've only seen a few minutes of it but that movie strikes me as being very odd. John Wayne just doesnt seem relevant in the context of Vietnam.. So whats your point?

Sorry corky.  You and Ripsnort don't "get it." The article, the topic and the discussion is about a group in Canada who want to honor draft dodgers.



"(re: John Wayne) So whats your point?"

It's a sarcastic nod to the ****ed up pov (regarding the truth) that some had then and which some have today still.

Doesn't reflect anything on Canada as a country.

Its weird isnt it.  On the one hand we have this overtly stiff unattractive unimaginitive dork of a ultra liberal anti military pro european flip-flopping filthy stinking rich married to a pit bull without a heart senator from TedKennedy Land trying to be president and on the other hand we have the President of the United States.

go figure......

Not only John Wayne is not relevant but his screen play in this film is far from average ...

My grandfather who served in WW2 had a cottage up in Canada, and him and the faimly would go up there every summer. Well my uncle has told me stories about when driving they would see Draft Dodgers walking along the roads up there hitch hiking. My uncle said it took all my grandfather had not to run them over, but there was quite a bit of yelling.

I respect the men that stayed around and complied with the draft. I also respect the men that left their country, their homes and their families to avoid it. Both choices had some element of risk. I'm not one to judge.

I can imagine that a kid of eighteen to twenty years old looked around and watched his friends go. Some never return and some return but they're not the same anymore. I imagine that these kids felt a lot of pressure trapped between conformity and survival.

In the end, you make a decision, hope that it's the right one and then try to live with it.


On the other hand... if I were twenty years older and you were one of those affluent types that didn't find yourself caught in this dilemma because daddy was going to buy your way out... my emotions would drift between envy and contempt.

Okay so maybe we can'y blame canada...still anyone who thinks blatant draft dodgers should be honored should be shot...

And DrYO...I was in the war zone before and after the war started...I cannot go back..my rate is overmanned and there are no billets for my job over there due to the large numbers of those who have volunteered to go. I am on the waiting list. I also serve on the Anti-terrorism Force protection team at my base protecting my shipmates. So there ! I have the right..but so does everybody..First amendment right?
