I did not serve either but let me teach you a lesson Mr. Mushface: (this is to Mushy not you Lowbridge) I was too young for the Korean war and after high school, I was married with two kids at the start of the Viet Nam war. I would have served but was not called because of the wife and kids. Now let me tell you there are few that love our military as much as I. I feel that because I did not have to serve, I cherish even more the sacrifice that those that did, did it,personally, for me. To this day whenever I run into one of our young men or women in uniform, I stop to thank them for their service. They are still serving for ME.

John Wayne and me are no lesser of a patriot because we did not personally serve.... Pilgrim!(any one care to look up the military service for Mushnick)

“Mr. Mushnick’s penchant for nostalgia might be attributed to a childhood spent on Staten Island in the green, pure days before the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge linked the borough to Babylon. He was a sports fanatic early on. He served as a water boy who kept tackle charts for the Wagner College football team, which brought him his first brush with stardom. Former Jet head coach Rich Kotite, then Wagner’s star tight end, once loaned him a windbreaker during a game. Now there was a true sportsman.

Mr. Mushnick left Eden to attend Waynesburg College in southwestern Pennsylvania, where he cultivated a fondness for eccentric jocks and Quaaludes. Then, after graduating in 1973, he got a job as copy clerk at the Post , the only newspaper that would hire him. With the exception of a short stint at Newsday , he has been at the Post ever since.”

I served ,USMC 67-69 ,I don’t think I did near as much for America as John Wayne or Ronald Reagan. I also think most draft dodgers did more than John Kerry. Maybe it’s just me!

I personally believe the country as a whole and many on the left would have been better served if we still had mandatory service to our country.

The military took a lot of snot nosed high school and college kids like me and forced us to start carrying our own weight.

Mushnick of this puniness by the left fringe would be frowned on if these moonbats had guidance in their younger days.

I could care less if Wayne served in the military just watching his great movies was motivation enough for me.
