Dick Cheney Heckled: CPAC Speech Interrupted By Protesters Calling Former Vice President 'War Criminal'

i have a confession to make. . .



i was a draft dodger, myself.



Vietnam was still going on; it was 1973, y'know. lotta fighting still going on. a fair number of people were still getting drafted and sent to the 'Nam. a bunch didn't make it back.



i coulda gone to Canada. problem was, i didn't have any money. . .didn't have a way to get there. in between northeast Texas and the border were a lotta cops. i didn't know anyone and i couldn't trust anyone. i was fresh outta high school.



Mexico was out of the question; i didn't do too good in Spanish while i was in high school. i'd of had even worse luck trying that route.

and the Army was the last place i wanted to be.



so i went and enlisted in the Marines.



never looked back.
