   "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)
