George,
Thank you for your service. I'm about your age, terrible times. I don't know your pain but I share a bit of your fear. My step brother & brother.
1 drafted 19 Viet Nam, forever damaged; the other joined 18 stateside, mature. college - test case - war maims body & spirit forever
With the best of intentions, I think college kids like me protesting made it worse for vets... however, now I am appalled that young people are NOT protesting - no draft!
We need to bring the draft back for both men & women - no exemptions! All families share the pain, loss, worry, fear - THIS IS THE ONLY WAY TO STOP WARS. What do you think?
I drifted back in time, not quite the magical mystery tour of my youth but..I have a softer spot for LBJ than you do, he didn't run a second term because of Viet Nam & he died a year after he left office.
Those close to him said he carried a heavy heart & it broke & he died.
He never forgot his roots, domestically LBJ was the best president since FDR - Civil Rights, Medicare, low tuition state colleges, blue collar jobs, unions BUT Viet Nam
