This piece at Maggies Farm has a lot wrong.
https://fee.org/articles/trump-s-general-is-right-soldiering-is-not-a-normal-job/
In one of the wrongs, the author mentions a desertion case in this manner:
“… in 1977, in the middle of mass desertions during the Vietnam war …”
The U.S. ended direct combat in 1972. There were never "mass desertions."
Given his bona fides at the end of the article, I’d guess the writer gets paid a lot of money. For being wrong.
Another misinformed (and he probably doesn’t give a damn that he is wrong) is Corey Harrison of Pawn Stars, who paid $250 for a $20 MPC bill after making this comment: Most of the guys in Vietnam were drafted and they didn’t want to be there anyway, so when they got paid with this instead of real money, you can understand they were not happy.
Harrison reaches many more people than does the free.org writer. Goes to show, you can be smart and very wrong.
