If he had sincere conviction he would have moved to Canada and staid there.

I will ask you the same question I asked MTI. How old are you?
I was slightly too young to have been drafted. Had I been old enough I'm sure I would have gotten a college deferment like so many other guys who didn't serve.

But I was old enough to have seen heartbreaking pictures of young American guys lying dead in their blood soaked white tee shirts, freshly killed in Viet Nam in the latest issue of Life magazine. And for what?

So what exactly did you do in Viet Nam?
