Chickenheart In Chief, "Just Didn't Want To Go To Viet Nam"??
I wonder how many of the fifty eight thousand soldiers who didn't come back, "Just Didn't Want To Go To Viet Nam"? Karen Hughes had better be able to do better that that L-A-M-E excuse! How many are in Iraq and Afghanistan who "Just Didn't Want To Go"? If you just don't want to go, is it ok to just go AWOL Karen? The people who buy the shit the GOPer propagandists have for sale, are totally STUPID, PERIOD>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>(.)

1. Where did he say this?
Do we have a sound clip of him saying it, or was it just Hughes?

7. No I heard Karen Hughes say it on TV about three days ago!
Then I heard Tucker Carlson say the same thing the next day! I've been thinking about it ever since! These people are just plain stupid! I wonder if the draft starts back up if "I Just Don't Want To Go Will Be A Good Enough Excuse? I know damned well I didn't want to go! Hell I was having a great time drinking and partying too but BY GOD I Went! If I hadn't I'd have done ten years in prison and been fined thousands of dollars! I know my SON "JUST DON'T WANT TO GO"!

5. Here they are -- side by side
Kerry : "I request duty in Vietnam"

Bush : "I do not volunteer for overseas"

I guess Bush didn't want to go to France, either.

6. Glad you enjoy what you read here
Welcome and I hope you receive much information that is helpful and truthful. America is on a very bad path and needs many to learn what is going on so things can be turned about. We need to get back to being a caring nation. I hope you agree. :toast:

8. We need to start an "I didn't want to go too" anti-war movement!
Please Mr Custer I don't Wanna' Go! It would be funny if it wasn't so damned serious! When I think about the two years I chipped in it pisses me off to NO END!

9. There are plenty of reservists right now
who would like to have a box to check saying "Just don't want to go."

It would be great to have a link to this outragous statement by Karen Hughes.

10. Sorry I don't have the link!
My brother-in-law is an E-9 in the reserves an he wishes he had a box like that too! He leaves in June! 54 years old 2 tours in Nam and one in Kosovo and was due to retire last year, but they stopped him from retiring! He can't get out! He is NOT a happy camper! My sister is hostile toward the chickenhawks because she saw the 'Just Didn't Want To Go' defense on TV too!
