Gee, GUEST, I thought I'd said that it was only a small part of the overall casualties.

WHADDA YA MEAN "real soldiers"? DEAD IS DEAD, WOUNDED IS WOUNDED, COMBAT IS COMBAT -- AND I AM FRIENDS WITH 'NAM VET RANGERS, MARINES, AND SEALS WHO RESPECT MY AND MY UNIT'S SERVICE JUST AS I RESPECT THEIRS!

Don't you ever again even imply that!

Yes, I and others know that politics got some into the Guard and Reserves as a way to avoid the draft. And we abhor those who pulled such strings as much as you -- and very likely more.
