    Didn't watch this video. But did he say he allowed his dysfunctional Government to use him as a chump and a pawn in Vietnam ? Or the fact that he was an invader and aggressor in someone else's country that did nothing to Americans or the US? Or that his time in Vietnam did absolutely nothing for American safety, security and freedom? Or that he did his part to keep that war going for almost 10 years negatively harming the US in many ways ? Just a Vietnam/Draft resistor asking for a friend.

      @@chuckjohnson2564 Another Neanderthal I need to educate. I'm a PROUD Vietnam/Draft Resister....not dodger. Dodging implies avoiding a legitimate responsibility or duty, or having a lack of character. Vietnam doesn't apply. I'm only a Draft dodger if you are a "baby killer". Are you?. If you are a Vietnam vet...then it's apparent you were pathetic back then...and nothing has changed
      Once an asshole...always an asshole.
