On this Memorial Day, I'm thinking of the Vietnam War, which I'm old enough to remember.
All these years later, I believe most Americans who fought in that war, those who protested against it, and those who fled to Canada rather than serve all displayed a kind of bravery and introspection.
That fella whose father arranged a diagnosis of bone spurs, on the other hand, displayed exactly the kind of qualities he still evinces: self-absorption, a fondness for cheating, and the spiritual depth of a Vietnamese rice paddy during the dry season.
