I was bragging to my colleague that I dodged the Military draft durin vietnam...

...in 1968, she told me not to tell? (I asked this yesturday and you wish harm upon me, why? i dont understand just because your loved ones die, you wish others to die also??, i am sorry if they died or was wounded by i dont think you should wish harm on others because of your suffering? Your loved ones could have dodged it if they wanted, I was helping others dodge it, I saved Lives that way anyways i still never figured this one out yet, i only conclude a misery loves company sort of thing)

She said, I wouldn't go around telling people that if i were you.

Why would she say this? Why is it not a good idea to tell?

I am proud not to be a murderer or a state-paid assassin, aka hit man.
I am proud i did not kill millions of people based on there vietnamese race.
I am proud not to be racist.
Plus I am not a sucker to be used as a pawn in a corrupt system.

How can anybody have a problem with peace, love, and refusing to kill people, refusing to kill people just because somebody in ds said so, or killing people just because of a different race.
40 years later, i still dont understand, why they think i was wrong.
I could not be more proud to have dodged it.

If anything i see myself courageous, to stand up to a corrupt government while I think it is pretty cowardly to simply bow down to a war-mongering regime and slaughter millions of vietnamese people who dont even the means to defend themselves.

I told her i simply hid in the u.s.a. , never went to canada, and never got caught, stayed in hotels, on farms, in big cities, all over. got a fake id, lived with aunts, cousins houses.

Plus, I work as a middle school teacher, where they cant critize me, they dont tolerate any negitive vibes towards the staff, and have a strict policy, so that is why i dont understand why she would tell me not to go around with pride of my resister of war
