From Joe N., on Fri, 10 Dec 1999 13:38:15 GMT (in response to: You're the idiot.)
The Us did not "ask" its citizens, "Pretty please will you go and fight in Viet Nam?" Some volunteered; the rest were _drafted_. The draft is not a "request"; it is an _order_.
Now ask yourself: if you believed or knew a war were wrong, would you enlist or go and fight in it when "asked" by the gov't to do so?
If you answer "yes" to that question, you are an idiot.
