@[joedinbjar:51083] “He says in love and war all is fair, he's got cards he ain't showing” - as I’ve gotten older and learned more about life, I’ve begun to realize this line may refer to the draft for Vietnam. A draft is supposed to randomly choose men to serve in the military so it was fair. But for those like me who didn’t know it at the time, we’ve learned that rich families could pay doctors to write false medical reports to exempt draftees, and really rich families could get their sons assigned to safer duty. So “How much does it cost?” is a real question, and the military wasn’t showing all it’s cards because this wasn’t available to ordinary people. |
