#draftdodgers — Public Fediverse posts

Je crois qu'on tient un argument massue si on fait voter les gens sur une loi pareille.

Tu veux déclarer une guerre en tant que politicien ?
Alors, par la loi, au moins un de tes enfants doit s'engager et être placé au plus près du front.
Allez, on en parle plus comme ça.

#Canada ‘punched above its weight’ in #WorldWar2. But when #Nixon wanted #Canadians to fight in #Vietnam , Pierre #Trudeau was a ‘hard no’. In fact, he welcomed #DraftDodgers to Canada! https://www.cbc.ca/player/play/video/1.3628009

After #September11th , Canadians fought and died alongside #Americans in #Afghanistan. But when George W. Bush asked Jean Crétien to send troops to #Iraq , Crétien smelled the #WMD hoax and was a ‘hard no’.

#MarkCarney is a ‘hard no’ on the #FelonsCrusade too!

I support #DraftDodgers if they're doing so because they don't believe in wars & want to work at creating more peace.
I don't support draft dodgers who don't work at creating peace & send others to sacrifice their lives for dirty, illegal wars - like the current PedorapistPOTUS.

Folk group #MitchellTrio, after Chad was replaced by #JohnDenver - sang the #PhilOchs #satire "Draft Dodger Rag" in 1968. This is one of the rare occasions where the Denver-led trio sang a song released by the original #ChadMitchellTrio.

The Chad Mitchell Trio released the song in 1964, one year before Phil Ochs put it on his own album. When the trio recorded the song, in addition to the original song that Ochs wrote, they also included a hilarious narrative intro to the song, as can be heard on their album, The Slightly Irreverent Mitchell Trio:

We've licked pneumonia and TB and the plagues that used to mock us.
We've got the onus on the sun; the smallpox cannot pock us.
We've found the antibodies for the staphylostreptococcus.
But ahh, the universal curse, from Vietnam to Korea,
The bug of bugs that bugs us still and begs for panacea.
Oh, who will find the antidote for - pentagonorrhea?

The above intro was written by master lyricist Yip Harburg, who wrote lyrics for songs like "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" and "Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?"
