Draft Dodger Dedication

If it's not bad enough that we have some ignorant little post-teen twit in Washington spitting on Lt. Colonel Boyington's grave, now a bunch of draft dodgers in Canada want to erect a monument to themselves:

"It could be that there is a group in the States that sees it as an opportunity to remind Americans that they are not locked into the militarism. That there is an escape valve," [stinking hippie draft dodger Issac] Romano said.

For the record, I don't agree with the draft; I believe an all-volunteer force, such as we have right now, is far preferable. I also did not agree with the way the war in Vietnam was conducted. Lyndon Johnson was a greedy, self-serving thug who used the war to line his own pockets. But all that does not excuse selfishness and cowardice, and it certainly doesn't mean such character flaws rate a memorial.

So stay up there in your "escape valve," Mr. Romano, and if you can get past your selfishness, try to remember to be thankful that better men and women than yourself insure you are free to be a sniveling coward.
