I think it's unacceptable to serve in an imperialist military against an actually, existing socialist country. You either desert, dodge, or frag. If you don't do any of those things, you are contributing towards reaction.

We hanged people at Nuremberg who were "just following orders." Vietnam should have been no different, given what the US did to those people.

do you think they would approve of the same wealthy man murdering poor rice farmers because it would be naughty to get out of it? Because that's the position you're defending. Trump's hypocrisy is apparently worse than murdering poor people on the other side of the world. But hey I guess they aren't American so it doesn't count, huh?

Also, around 0.6% of draft dodgers went to prison. The conscripts who went didn't go because they couldn't get out of it. They went because they were propagandised to think that America is good. Even if it actually were common for poor people to be imprisoned for resisting service that would still be no excuse for flying to the other side of the world to murder poor rice farmers.

But again, they're not American, so they don't really count. All of your pathetic whining about hypocrisy only adds up to - the hypocrisy of one rich dickhead is more important than the lives of Vietnamese people. And that's disgusting.
