Protest


about the dodgers...

From Dennis Ferruzzi, on Thu, 27 Jul 2000 09:57:07 GMT (in response to: about "draft dodgers")

     Those people that dodged the draft were wrong, but 
hunderds of thousands of soldiers have given their lives so 
that they may be the cowards that they were.  They gave their 
lives so that the citizens of this country may have freedom.  
The draft dodgers took their freedom and used it to avoid 
giving a little back to those that gave everything for them.  
I and thousands of others are sworn to make sure that they 
have the freedom to do it again if that is what they choose.  
I don't agree with what they did, but it is my job, and more 
importantly, my SWORN duty to make sure that they remain 
free.  What you do with this freedom is up to you.  Please 
don't waste all of those lives that were given for you and 
the other citizens of this country.  One of the biggst 
reasons I have joined the service is because I felt, and 
still feel, that I owe at least a few years of my life to 
help pay for the rest of theirs.  They made the ultimate 
sacrice so that you can be free.  Please, do the right thing 
with it.  It has cost far too many lives to throw it away, 
and it will cost many, many more.
