<<It's a free country, a country that I served when called to do so by the US
Army.  Just curious, but  are you a veteran of the US Armed Forces, Quail?
Or, are you just one of those slackers who will sit back and let other
Americans bleed and die while you're watching the war on TV?

People like you were proven to be on the wrong side of history back in the
60s when they were telling anti-War critics and protesters to "love it or
leave it." >>

I'm a little confused here, Scoop.  Wasn't it those who served, unfairly or 
no, who were deemed on the wrong side of things?  People with the courage of 
their convictions--"Slackers" did you call them?--refused the draft.
