""So anyone who scooted off to Canada or faked a medical condition in avoiding the draft is fine with you?""
Knowing the circumstances? Absolutely. It was war there was no winning. There has been a 4o year debate whether it was even a "war" at all. Being patriotic does not mean submit blindly to your government. You know people that went to VietNam? So do I. And I know many that are F'd up till this day because of it.
Had your relation went to VietNam like mine did, you'd probably have a different take on it. The malaria, the jungle rot, The heat, humidity, monsoon rains, deployment without ammo, people dying for no reason, the Agent orange and all the other deadly shit our government was subjecting our troops to. No, I have no ill will for anyone who could think for themselves.
