So does that give him a free pass on the issue? If your brother died from a cocaine overdose, does that give you a free pass on the issue of drug use?

Doesn't matter. You don't get a 'free pass' on an issue because your brother died doing X.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

I've lost several - brother and two uncles, either directly or from war related injuries/issues. It doesn't give you a pass, and whether something happening to a family member would "affect you" is irrelevant to your own conduct.Originally posted by MrFun
He's not down, but something like that would affect him for the rest of his life.
I'm sure others who have lost a family member from a war, would understand what I'm talking about.When all else fails, blame brown people. | Hire a teen, while they still know it all. | Trump-Palin 2016. "You're fired." "I quit."Comment

His brother was not in the war. He was doing activities not related to the war. He just got killed in Laos. Could happen in South America.Originally posted by MrFun
You're talking about the same guy who will continue to deal with the trauma of losing his brother from the Vietnam War.
So glad you can beat up a guy when he's already down -- way to go.Comment

Coming from the guy who talks about joining a militia...but who registered like a little lamb to make sure that he could get time with the UT coeds. Go drink your sorrows on 6th avenue or 5th avenue or whatever it is.Originally posted by David Floyd

Re: Re: Howard Dean - Draft Dodger
So do the Republicans. Look at all their current leading members, most of 'em draft dodgers. The ones who ain't, like McCain, aren't too popular among the party leadership.Originally posted by GhengisFarb
