By the way, although I would have avoided going to Vietnam at any cost, it was the US Army that rejected me. They didn't want me because I was gay. So glad to be gay at that moment. If you think I was wrong to be against the Vietnam War click here and read the history of that war. It was not my father's war.
Nice photos, Alan...you long-haired homo-hippie.
ReplyDeleteYou left out stoned.
ReplyDeleteEven though I was drafted to go to Nam two times, it was the time the lottery system of choosing who would go. I lucked out two years in a row.
ReplyDeleteYou are right, WW2 was a very justified war and ordinary people became soldiers. Vietnam was one big mistake and crime after another. I never faulted the poor drafted guys who had to go and I never understood why people blamed THEM when they came home. It was the start of my negative feelings about politicians and governmental assholes.
