Does anyone have a link to this list of RWers?
Recently I saw a list of RW types and what they did during the VietNam era to avoid meaningful military service (as opposed to signing up for the National Guard and not showing up). The list included Smirky, Rummy, Rushbo and many of the other freeper heroes. If anyone could provide me with that list or a link to it I certainly would appreciate it. TIA.
