But I am a "tough-minded" liberal instead of a meek conservative who does whatever he is told.  It takes guts to stand up for what you believe in.

Terrrible "slur" on those who fought in Vietnam.    But I am going to let others respond to your attack on blind allegiance to authority.


I know I'd have gone at 19 were I drafted.  But maybe not at 20.  Very unlikely at 21.

I was very brave before My Lai and the bombing of Cambodia.
