[a fool in paradise]

And there were enlisted men who worked as counter agents in the Iraq War too. I give you Sgt. Akbar. A muslim man who threw a grenade into an officers’ tent killing 2 and wounding a dozen.

The draft would bring in a bunch of dushbags who did not want to be there just like in the 60's.

Dushbags? Did not want to be there?

Are you referring to the 18,000 that were drafted and died fighting in Vietnam?

And there were enlisted men who worked as counter agents in the Iraq War too.

That has little to do with my point above.

The fact is 18,000 of those drafted died fighting in Vietnam.

They did not have to go, there were options, not good ones, but no one forced them at gun point.

I know people who were drafted that died in combat, and I take exception to someone calling all those Americans drafted during Vietnam, "dushbags".

In certain circles, the individual that made that comment, would get his head handed to him.
