Anyone who opposed the Vietnam war and resisted it is to be admired. Anyone who opposed it and found a way of getting out of it is to be respected, and so are those who went there even if they didn't think it was a "just war"

Those who supported the Vietnam war and went there are also to be respected and maybe admired, especially if they had a possibility of getting out of it. Even those who got involved in committing war crimes out there are maybe more to be pitied than anything, with the main guilt lying higher up, with those who put them in that suituation.

But anyone who actively supported the Vietnam War and found a way of keeping themselves out of it - well. that's something different. I'd have thought that cobntempt for George Bush would be something on which Vietnam vets and Vietnam war resisters would be in full agreement. Well, I believe he said he wanted to bring the country together...
