TPM Article on JFK assassination on the conspiracies cluster

7. Nice post!

I also served, but as a Peace Corps Volunteer. Many of my peers did both because at that time (the 60s), the draft was still in force. As a female, I was exempt from the draft. The military is not the only avenue of service to one's country, although those who serve honorably should always be appreciated.

My professional career was overwhelmingly spent in public service and yes, that service was in part inspired both by JFK's rhetoric (however anyone wants to characterize it) and example.

I totally agree with "Mission Accomplished" being one of the most arrogant statements ever made.

The only things that Bush's rhetoric and example ever inspired me to do: 1) to puke and 2) to work very hard at getting Democrats elected wherever and whenever I can.
