No Cajun,
I didn't. I was in college (student deferment). Alas, I lost too many friends, and those that returned were either very badly crippled, or saw the folly of their actions and organized the local college branch of Vets Against the War.
I was in the Students Mobilization to End the War.
Sidenote, my son's girl friend is a psychology post grad doing counseling with returned vets from Iraq, her thesis is about post traumatic stress disorder.
Too many stories to tell.
There has to be a better way. There has to be.
If we are unable to find that way, we'll only continue to cause others to suffer, as we do ourselves.
