A Great Day in History
January 21, 2023
On this day in 1977, President Carter pardoned draft dodgers who evaded the killing fields of Vietnam. Too bad everyone did not evade the draft. You cannot have a war without soldiers. There is nothing heroic about going half way around the world where you have no business going and killing people. Never, ever listen to government reasons for fighting a foreign war. They are always lies.
