    I'm not one of those, but aren't there like thousands of other reasons to ridicule him about?

      Good luck, Sprayber.

      I'm rooting for you.
      I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

        I'll 2nd that. And the same for Coast Guard.

        May luck be your hand maiden, Sprayber.

            You misunderstand his statement, MRT.

                Maybe I misunderstood. I read it as people criticized Quayle as a draft dodger for joining National Guard.
                What I'm saying is, that insured nothing.

                I meant no offense.

                  oh, i agree with ya. hell, people who serve in any form for this country and do their job well and without corruption are heros, no matter if its coast or national, air force, navy, army or marines.

                  its funny though that he wants an apology from liberals for calling quayle a draft dodger when that was most likely in direct repsonse to every draft dodging attack by conservative on anyone with a liberal bone in their body. lets face it, conservative and liberal alike probably dodged the draft out of fear for their life, and not out of their political views.

                    Well, Air Force is better than the others, but in theory I totally agree.

                      Sprayber, please take care of yourself and your buddies. Bring back some stories, ~WEG~ those that you can tell us at least. I would hate to loose you, especially since I have enjoyed reading your posts since you have come to apolyton. ~Grins~ Hopefully, you will not go nuts from boredom!

                      Best wishes, God speed, & good luck!

                        Be safe and godspeed.

                        Can you tell us your unit so we can follow along with news or is that classified?

                        Which reminds me of a movie quote:

                        Ted Striker: My orders came through. My squadron ships out tomorrow. We're bombing the storage depots at Daiquiri at 1800 hours. We're coming in from the north, below their radar.
                        Elaine Dickinson: When will you be back?
                        Ted Striker: I can't tell you that. It's classified.

                        --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                        Be the bid!

                            Oh yeah, almost forgot, if you get a chance to see some real combat, don't try to be a hero.. just duck and play it safe and cool. I'd like to hear some combat stories later if you get some, but they're no use to us if you dont return!

                              Actually the Vietnam era was before the time the Army started deploying ANG and Reserve forces right alongside regular army forces, so Guard service pretty much DID guarantee an escape from Vietnam. Personally, I think Quayle made a smart move, but it would have been better if he refused service altogether.
