The real war record of President AWOL is still not known but it is a story that others are following and the pressure is still on. See...

There is just one thing that I want to post about this. It's the lyrics to a song from the Vietnam era. If you know of any old farts from that era, ask them to borrow it. (You might have to find a turntable!) Turn it up loud. Real loud.

FORTUNATE SON Lyrics
Creedence Clearwater Revival

Some folks are born made to wave the flag, ooh, they're red, white and blue. And when the band plays "Hail To The Chief", oh, they point the cannon at you, Lord, It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no senator's son, It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no fortunate one, no, Some folks are born silver spoon in hand, Lord, don't they help themselves, oh. But when the taxman come to the door, Lord, the house look a like a rummage sale, yes, It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no millionaire's son. It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no fortunate one, no. Yeh, some folks inherit star spangled eyes, ooh, they send you down to war, Lord, And when you ask them, how much should we give, oh, they only answer, more, more, more, yoh, It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no military son, It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no fortunate one, It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no fortunate one, no no no, It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no fortunate son, no no no, John C. Fogerty

This song always brings back a little of the angst of that era. I hope someday that I can listen to it without tears in my eyes. There are two Americas. Which one are you in?

Here is a link to the story behind the song.
