I woul...Thank you all.<br />Interesting questions, A.B..<br />I would NOT have volunteered for service in 1966. I have pondered that point for years...<br />What course my life would have taken if I had not been drafted, then taken all the different schools leading to my tour in Viet Nam.<br />There is just NO WAY to know how my life would have proceeded.<br /><br />But you're right of course...<br />9-11 changed everything and yes, I'd have been in line to serve.<br />And that's the point of this post...<br />There are still plenty of kids who aren't constantly into the ME! ME! ME! thought process, and the fact our all-volunteer force can continue to attract these kids should be a great source of pride for us all.<br />God Bless 'em.Greybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11919862790973521778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12452759.post-2800274824058724592010-11-11T18:09:26.385-08:002010-11-11T18:09:26.385-08:00So....would you have made a different choice today...So....would you have made a different choice today? <br /><br />So....after 9/11 if your country and ASKED you, not demanded you serve, would you have?<br /><br />I know the Vietnam vets were not actually "defending" our country and the outcome was horrible, especially how our own country treated you guys.<br /><br />But do you REALLY feel like you were abducted?<br /><br />I am PROUD of your service. It was not your choice to serve, but I know that you and my husband would not have made another choice. And that you are both also proud of your service.<br /><br />Vietnam was an ugly war and was not as "vital" as the wars we have now. <br /><br />But you guys NOW are our generation's heroes. <br /><br />We know you didn't want to go, but you did.<br /><br />I only wish we could have allowed you guys the appreciation that today's soldiers get.<br /><br />It's incredibly late, but America says, "Thank you". <br /><br />And so do I.Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03121530659338322937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12452759.post-61882741432130120782010-11-11T16:33:54.915-08:002010-11-11T16:33:54.915-08:00Thank God that you didn't burn your draft card...Thank God that you didn't burn your draft card with the rest of the hippies.... <br /><br />Thanks for your service sir.jinkstohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05645519830822645928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12452759.post-41514829226837830502010-11-11T16:29:50.308-08:002010-11-11T16:29:50.308-08:00We are once again in violent agreement.
