I volunteered to go in the Army shortly before my 18th birthday, April 1972 I went through basic with the last of the draftees Lt. Caley was being tried at Fort Ord for the Meli Massacre at the same time.
To leave the base was a nightmare because you had to get past all the protesters and I will never forget a chic calling me a murderer and spitting on me at the Salinas bus station. It would sadden me to see these poor dumb kids treated the same way.

Jim I agree the war is wrong and the difference between the draftees and most of the enlisted men then and now is like night and day.
I don't agree on blaming the enlisted men, I blame their leaders, they know what they have to work with.
I hate to classify George W. as a leader but I blame him and his ass hole buddies Cheney and Rumsfeld their the real villains.
