Many now know that the corruption in the South Vietnamese government was immense. Our country and leaders knew that at the time. In essence, we weren't fighting for democracy. We were just fighting. The same case applies now. I'm new to the forum, but I see that it may be about draft dodgers. I'm of the age when they'll probably be drafting me into the wars the Bush administration is so gleefully causing. The "War on Terrorism" is just a gimmick to get the ignorant American's support for a plan that they don't understand. A pre-emptive strike IS terrorism! I will not stand by the Bush Administration as they ruin the name of America. And I will NOT fight for them. I will NOT support this and I urge those who do to strongly rethink what is going on without blindly throwing yourself into their support.
