41. The last of the Vietnam era non veterans?

Tue Nov 4, 2025, 07:59 AM

Tuesday

We are running out of people from the Vietnam era, and there have been a heck of a lot more people who got out of going, than went. Off the top of my head those who went were and ran for president

Gore
McCain
Kerry

those who didn't
Romney, Cheney, Trump, Clinton, Biden. I'd certainly place Bush in this category too.

For many of that generation what you did mattered.
