Sounds like claims in Vietnam at the time. They were all prize buffalo.

By the way…did Bundy serve in the military during Vietnam or was he a coward?

I didn't serve in the military during Vietnam, nor am I a coward.

​How is this relevant to the discussion?

It's interesting that Oathkeepers are there. Based upon their boasting of prior military service as giving them gravitas, it would be interesting to know whether Bundy served during Vietnam or not. I did. If he's a draft card burner, then I think we should know that he's more Jane Fonda than John Wayne.

I didn't serve in Vietnam nor did I burn my draft card. There are thousands like me and likely dozens on this board. Kindly explain how we are more like Jane Fonda than John Wayne.

Oathkeepers swear that they will not abuse their powers and skills by carrying out unlawful or unconstitutional orders against the citizens they have sworn to protect. We don't distinguish between those that served in Vietnam and those that did not.

He's making this a character issue about Bundy. Taking it all the way back to 'Nam to make his case.

 

[Manatee]

Do not generalize. I asked a specific question about Bundy. If you know, then answer. If you don't, it doesn't apply.

Bundy is just a little older than me, so he was likely "eligible" for service in the Vietnam Conflict (versus others).

And yes, to some degree being a decorated war veteran makes a difference to me.

Link doesn't work…but, it's not on point anyway. Is Bundy a vet or not?

Reid calls Bundy supporters ?domestic terrorists? | Las Vegas Review-Journal

 

[SERparacord]

Reid passed his prime long ago. Time to replace the old fool.

 

[gravitas73]

3% of the colonists were technically terrorists in their time too. Today we call them patriots. If Harry Reid calls them and those like them terrorists, it is a label they should wear proudly.

So, are you saying that some animals are more equal than others?

For instance John McCain and John Kerry.

For instance John McCain and John Kerry.

Those two are definitely more equal than others if the category in which we are measuring equality is 'idiots named John'.

It would seem that you are missing the point. The group is made up of people who have sworn to uphold and defend the Constitution who gathered together as a political pressure group to make sure that those following behind them who swear to uphold and defend the Constitution actually do so regardless of the person (i.e., any citizen, having so sworn or not) who is the target when they do not do so.

I can respect that on an emotional level but on an intellectual level would it change your opinion of the merits of the case against Bundy's actions or the way the feds handled the situation if the headlines described Bundy as being a decorated war veteran?

Actually, yah. Ever fill out a 4473? It's obvious certain people are more equal than others.

It has to do with Oathkeepers. If this guy is a draft dodger, than I think Oathkeepers might be defending the wrong "hero".
