I was in the National Guard doing NORAD duty at ground zero, so I don't
believe I missed anything.

Congratulations, you were on or near a major city, military base or site,
industrial complex, government center etc. By george, so were the vast
majority
of the U.S. population. Wow, look at all them ground zeros. I guess that mean
you were front line duty? Was it rough duty?

You were just one of thousands of wrench benders. So was I.

Want to compare combat duty? I can tell you about my time in AF spec ops or
my
participation in the South East Asia War Games and you can tell me..um...
well.. I guess you can tell me about the fights you had with the B girls.
Tell
me, did you win any?

As Colin Powell said:

"I am angry that so many of the sons of the powerful and
well-placed managed to wangle slots in the Army Reserve and National
Guard units... Of the many tragedies of Vietnam, this raw class
discrimination strikes me as the most damaging to the ideal that all
Americans are created equal and owe equal allegiance to their country."
