Body:	<i>Perhaps our class suffered no casualties because we were able to avoid combat roles one way or another - deferments, National Guard or Reserve units, etc. By and large, the war in Vietnam was fought for all the wrong reasons by all the wrong people. 'When the rich war, it's the poor who die.' Dick Cheney got multiple deferments as a student and when those ran out he got his wife pregnant. 'W' with lots of political pull, got a position in a national guard unit that had no possibility of fighting in Vietnam - its planes were for high altitude air-to-air combat. Of course, he was generally AWOL anyway. Me? I was not much different. I was classified 1-Y, the 1960's equivalent of 4-F. It saved me the difficult decision of whether to move to Canada. Anyone else?</i> *
