1 out of 16 babyboomer males saw combat in Vietnam. For every baby boomer killed in combat in Vietnam, 10 committed a felony to avoid the draft. Was that generation against war or against personal participation? 80 percent of them supported the Gulf War. SOURCE:USA TODAY Jan 1993.

They were against an unwinnable war, which was obvious to us at the time.

You beat me to the punch! I saw all manner of devices used at the induction center in Oakland in 1967, including using illegal drugs. Some guys even claimed that they were queer, so that the wouldn't be inducted. Most of us were scared but not all of us were cowards. By the way, I went to Vietnam with a kid who was no bigger than Reich. Who's providing this information about his ineligibility?
