Don,

Given the incident in question happened during WW1, I don't see how you could claim that it is a lie.

As to...
"And, BTW, I don't buy your 300+ lottery story--people who avoided military service, like you and George W., are the first to send others off to get their heads blown off. If these issues were so important to you, you could have volunteered and gone off to Viet Nam to defend your views in person."

My lottery number was 314. I didn't avoid military service as you have put it, I didn't get called to duty due to a high draft number.

All, and I mean ALL people fighting this war are doing so voluntarily.

There is no comparison between this conflict and Nam. Trying to compare the two does further disservice to Nam vets and current disservice to our troupes in the gulf.
