Fear U. S. Losing Its Grip

The fan is now ready for the shit. Spin away.

What I would like to know, 4Canada, is what about deserters going to Canada like the Viet Nam era? What is Canada's position on this?
When Hughey got orders for Iraq, he searched the Internet and found Vietnam era war resisters willing to show him the way north. In fact, they were willing to drive him there, and a Canadian television news camera went along.

I discovered a little more about it. Someone by the name of Rising-Moore, a Viet Nam resister helped Hughey. Some of his comments:

Soon after returning to Indianapolis in 1996, Rising-Moore understood this was the place to make a difference. Still, it was a rough transition. “I knew, everywhere I traveled, that Indianapolis is so important to this potential change. I finally settled in here,” he said. “Being in Indianapolis, such a non-tolerant society, is not easy. When you live in Vancouver, which is tolerant of anything and anybody, then, all of a sudden, you have these narrow-minded people you have to associate with. Now I’m old enough to not have that hurt me or bring me down.”

Rising-Moore coped by finding connections with likeminded people. “I’ve found that as long as I hung out with Native people and African-Americans, I didn’t have any problems — because they understood exactly what I was saying,” he said. “We had a shared vision, we had a shared understanding of how we’ve come to be in the situation where we are.”
