Me, in 1981
Got kind of choked up tonight, watching TV footage of the remains of our soldiers from the Korean War being returned to the United States. Those guys were my contemporaries, I may have played football against some of them. I missed that war because I was affluent, well connected, and smart. I'm glad I did, but I wonder now about the morality of it all. Why wasn't I in one of those little boxes, and one of them sitting here? The older you get, the less you really understand.
