It's stunning how many people seem to forget that there are other countries on the planet that use dollars and weren't involved in Vietnam. No, I'm not making an assumption. The person who posted this is Canadian.

Y'all really need to take a step back and reflect a little bit.

Countries other than the United States exist and my country was the one people ran away to in order to avoid the draft. Also the same country of the person who posted this.

Also literally any day could be the one the Bomb dropped. It's easy to forget how close we came, or how fucking terrifying it was that you had no way of knowing.

Yeah, I'm pretty happy with being born after the draft became less used and I'm now old enough to not qualify for the draft anymore. Life is pretty good.
