vietnam in 1968, she told me not to tell? She said, I wouldn't go around telling people that if i were you.

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.
How can anybody have a problem with peace, love, and refusing to kill people, refusing to kill people just because somebody in DC said so, or killing people just because of a different race.
I dont want to be used as pawn in a corrupt system.

40 years later, i still dont understand, why they think i was wrong.
I could not be more proud to have dodged it.

I have 2 sons in college, and they will be dodging if they were a war with iran.

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.

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

I work as a middle school teacher, where they cant critize me, they wont allow the staff to insult me, 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.
On top of that, Even if somebody, like a veteran were to attack me, how do you think they would look once the press gets ahold of it? Veteran beats up a middle school teacher for no reason
 
Why do you re post this same question that was posted recently? I know, because I answered that question and when I looked, my former answer was not there. The question is exactly the same. I suggest you find other means of amusement, than trying to stir people up.
 
There are some people who consider those who oppose war, cowards. I don't agree. I believe there are times when war is necessary but I think it is used too frequently and for the wrong reasons.
I had a friend who had C.O. (conscientious objector) status. He ended up joining the peace corp and kept his pacifist beliefs to himself. It's too bad that people are so judgmental and think their way is the only way.
