I am about as far removed from the military as you can get — I still have my draft card with my conscientious objector status noted — but even I know that it’s not a good idea to insult the people who command a lot of weaponry.

I don’t know where I put my draft card certifying my conscientious objector status, but it does exist. My 2H was changed to 1A in Spring of ’74- no draft but still holding the draft lottery. In my interview, I was asked if I would want to live in the Soviet Union. I replied that if we only aimed to be better than them, we would wind up being a place none of us would want to live.
