 * = **My name is John Lacey. I was born in 1945 and brought up in New York. I left America in 1967 just after leaving college. I did this to avoid being drafted. I went to Canada and then to Sweden where I lived till there was amnesty for draft- dodgers, which led me to return to the USA.**


 * Was I a coward? Did I let my country down? In one way I was a coward for I left rather than go to jail for my refusal to join the army. But I wasn’t afraid to fight. I refused to serve in Vietnam because we had no right to be there. We only brought untold suffering and destruction to that country. We acted like the bully of the world and used all our vast military might against a small nation of peasants. Some people might say that I was not in the position to judge what was happening in Vietnam. However, there were many veterans who hated the war just as much as I did. They saw the injustices at first hand and they condemned the war too.**
