When did Jon Voight become a "hero"? Really...what "heroic" thing has he done? In the movie "Coming Home" he played a disabled Viet Nam veteran, but that was just in Hollywood OP.
In fact, many think that Jon Voight is downright nuts.
Always funny when Righties trot out one of those Hollywood commie liberal hippy socialist airhead actors who they feel shouldn't have an opinion.........until they say something Righties agree with...LOL!
John Voight: A good actor and typical Neo-Conservative Republican.
He turned 18 in 1956, but somehow managed to avoid the draft. In the 1960's, he was a hippie anti-war protestor, leftist and fellow traveler with the likes of Jane Fonda who later claimed he was duped by "Marxist propaganda." He protested against President's Johnson and Nixon over the Vietnam War, which he conveniently missed, yet felt compelled to condemn those who acted similarly against President Bush after his "conversion" to conservatism:
"And they — what I hear, you know, talking about our president. When I hear people saying quite unthinkable things about our president, when I see our president defaced, which is defacing our country. He's the leader of our country. He's the leader of the free world. It — my heart is very heavy."
It was an exercise in free speech when he did it, but near treason when someone else did. It made his heart "heavy" to see others doing what he did. Awwwww. Poor thing.
Naturally, like most good Republican activists and values voters, he has two ex-wives.
If this is your idea of a "hero," you really should invest in a better dictionary.
Have you never seen me admit to being 17, just out of high school, when our good President Truman sent troops to Korea declaring that he would get it done while the UN debated over it for a month or two. I guess I must have been a draft dodger since I failed to get drafted for four years in college. I just took a test that the law prescribed we take and then had to make better than a C average those 4 years.
Old draft dodger me was under the Universal Military Training law however and upon graduation found that getting a job wasn't nearly as easy as getting that annual deferment to attend college. Finally I couldn't get drafted although I worked for the head man down at the draft who was one of the first men called back as a Navy fighter pilot and very bitter since he hard 8 kids at the time. He told me he couldn't get me drafted for at least 6 months, so like a good liberal thinking Democrat I just enlisted and loved every minute of the three years.
Anyway, I would have to be considered a draft dodger although I used the law to do it since moving to Canada hadn't been discovered when I started.
I only have one ex-wife but was a Democrat when we split. What does that have to do with anything, though? Oh yeah, I understand you. When will you manage to reform like Voight and I did about the same age?
You didn't even open the video, did you? You got your info from stillkit who I am not sure did either.
