Russia and Ukraine is not a national security risk for US .When there is one of course I believe in defending our country .WW I an II there was , we were openly attacked in II ,not in Korea or Vietnam .Buy the end of Vietnam there were as many parents wanting out as there were young kids ,this is what I meant by age in my other post and no it was not a shot at anyone .At 17 my number in the draft was pulled(I still have my draft card) ,they had stop the draft put were still pulling the numbers in case needed.7 kids in my family and I was the only one that could be drafted ,it was fun at night to hear the fighting on what I should do from everyone else and all I kept asking is why are we there and no one could answer me , tell me policy and I would have punch you in the mouth then ,I had already lost a cousin in Vietnam in 1970 .Sorry for the digression ,look I understand the viewpoint, I just disagree with it .
