Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for October 15, 2021

It’s the one who doesn’t get upset if you don’t tip him well.

I didn’t serve. (Medical exemption. Not bone spurs.) I never regretted it. Not. For. One. Second.

But I salute all those who did.

If that’s Phred’s plan, his resort will be bankrupt in a week!

I think there has been a Greg Norman golf course ( and lots of other resort development) there for over 10 years. Is this a new strip or a throwback?

Donald Trump, Ted Nuggent, Slyvester Stallone, who can name some more Chicken Hawks who avoided service?

No regrets at all that the draft ended the year I was #15 on the list of those to be called up.

I’m probably wrong here, I mean I smell the sarcasm, but I’m sort of liking the concept.

Of course it was so hard. They all look alike.

I hope those two are wrong, and the scheme is a big bust.

How about laying down some land mines for those wimps to discover?

The Viet Cong bellboys will be the ones who REFUSE tips as “degrading capitalism”.

They tried to draft me. I got out of it on a typographical error. I was 8 years old, not 18. I ended up going to the Persian Gulf when the hostages were in Iran. My war didn’t quite happen & I’m not complaining. Okay, I’ll complain; Trump’s buddy Steve Bannon was a shipmate, & he’s always been a butthead.

i have seldom had a happier event in my life than the time I learned that I had gotten #362 in the draft lottery.

Touts $40.00 a bottle .90 proof gin made in Vietnam.

One flavored with Juniper.The other with mangosteem,cardamom,and citrus.

I am sure this sentiment has been expressed many times before but it bears repeating. We Americans are deeply divided and intolerant of each other. We pick sides and use simplistic rhetoric to accuse and insult the other. This is a democracy. The choices we make matter. We have made terrible choices because of our intolerance. If we do not come together, we have no future. This chicken hawk debate serves no useful purpose. It only divides us.

Saigon, I thought it was Ho Chi Min City

What we have here is the biggest bowl of lemonade ever…
