Sorry, and yes, it's a disgrace, indeed.

Here's from the link Ray provided:

"I am angry that so many of the sons of the powerful and well-placed... managed to wangle slots in Reserve and National Guard units...Of the many tragedies of Vietnam, this raw class discrimination strikes me as the most damaging to the ideal that all Americans are created equal and owe equal allegiance to their country."

--- Colin Powell’s autobiography, My American Journey, p. 148

More than just "raw class discrimination" it is cowardice. That's why the "Chickenhawk" terminology rankles, if you see the "chickenhawk" video on the same page.

More important is the question: how has he gotten away with it? This, like many other things with both he and his father, slide off the table of debate. That's an even more disgraceful issue.
