[Rhodes22-list] (political) response to Brad

[Cheryl O'Grady]

We didn't need to bring it up, it was out there for everyone to know.  I think we are pointing out the hypocrisy of you folks who complained loudly for 8 years that he was a draft dodger, but have remained largely mum about the dodging of the leaders of the current war administration.

I personally think everyone who could have did the right thing to avoid going to VietNam, unless of course they wanted to stand around calling names at people who did actually show up there.
