    I'm glad you mentioned this, because despite that being the heroic thing to do (Vietnam draft dodgers are the real heroes (on the American side) of that war), I still saw so much hatred for them on twitter. There were people saying they should've stayed in Russia and protested the war instead. There was a (singer?) who committed suicide because he believed the war to be immoral and didn't want to have to kill innocents, and even he was getting tons of hate.

      I hadn't heard this, that's very sad. Disgusting that someone could claim moral superiority over someone who literally died to avoid harming others.
