When I was 19, in 1967, I looked into the National Guard.
Everybody knew the guard was the easiest way to avoid combat duty
in Viet Nam (was then, anyway).

The older brother of a good friend of mine was in the National Guard. He
was killed in Viet Nam.

Unfortunate.

Actually, the best way to avoid combat duty in Viet Nam would have been to
be a Swedish lesbian.
