“I hadn’t once felt threatened by the Viet Cong or North Vietnamese. I had no reason to want to kill anyone in Southeast Asia, or anywhere for that matter.

“I wasn’t yet sure what I was. “I’m not a soldier. I’m against the war. I decided to leave before I was called up.” In a political sense, I was (take your pick): …one of the first war resisters to go to Canada, …a draft dodger, …a traitor to my country in time of war, …a coward, …an American exile in a foreign country, …a fugitive from the FBI.”
