minus-squareRiverside@reddthat.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up17arrow-down2·edit-22 days ago I do respect and appreciate veterans for what they’ve done WW2 veterans like, sure, but what other US veterans do tou respect for what they’ve done?
minus-squareLillyPip@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·edit-22 hours agoI taught my son to be a conscientious objector. I caught hell for that, especially in conversations in my very, very small town where many people sent their kids into this meat grinder. I told my son he was too good for that, and some locals hate me for that. Like they thought I was saying my son was better than theirs. No, I just understand the system, and I’m not going to groom my kid to be chopped meat. You don’t have to do that either. You do you. That’s not beautiful to me, though, e: and my son is the most beautiful thing in the world to me.

minus-squaregalacticbackhoe@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·23 hours agoI feel like Vietnam veterans who were objectors could fall in this category. Plenty of them were forced to go. In the end, anyone who was drafted and didn’t want to be would have some level of understanding from me.
