11. "These military guys are my blood brothers"

Is that the thought that got Ted through his month long shit and piss in your pants tactic to dodge the draft when he was called to serve his country back in the sixties?

Nice that some of these right wing chicken hawks are so fucking compassionate about their country decades after they forfeited the right to risk their lives to serve it, huh?

The guitar solo from the Amboy Dukes Journey to the Center of the Mind is still one of the best of that era, in my opinion.

For the record - the draft ended in 1972, the year I was eligible. My parents would have helped me move to Canada had I been called. I would have lost my mind as much as the American state tortured Jose Padilla if I had served. I am simply too timid, fearful and gentle to emotionally cope with military life.
