    Yes, many were drafted, some refused to go, someone else went in their place.

    I did like the music.
    Never the drugs, I told this here before, I 'un-willingly' watched a young college athlete scream himself to death on lsd,acid. I was in er for injured arm, doctors were running in and out of his room and you could hear the horrible non-human screams coming from it.2 doctors pulled me to the door and said, " you want to do drugs, one had tears behind his glasses. Cured me for life! They had did all they could. I heard overdosing on drugs was fairly common back in the 60s.

    War is a terrible thing, seldom necessary. I think there is a time for war. I just don't know enough to know what time that is.

    It started under Democrat Lyndon Johnson after Kennedy was assassinated. Talk of the war began under Kennedy but many say he would not have taken it to an actual war.

    in some ways Biden has had a lot in common with Johnson.

    I also think it has something to do with the times and change of who is controlling things today.
    Some say the military industrial complex started after 1913 when private organizations took over our financial system, who knows?
    Seems there is an escape goat for all the accused.:confused:
