Re: “...kinda like decomps love for clo.”
Oh, I'm sure clo has some good points. She may have even saved somebody's life. Here's what happened:

Lance Corporal Tom Tamilio - "the love of my life," according to clo - was killed in Vietnam on February 15, 1967. Precisely 46 days later, clo married somebody she'd only just met, William Geer. She was pregnant four months after that. clo didn't marry William and have son out of love. Not at all, and the marriage was short lived. clo did it because William was scared. She pretends what she did was admirable. She's claims to be proud of it. But what she did was to keep a COWARD from being fairly drafted and instead caused somebody else, somebody who shouldn't have been drafted, to have to go in William's place.

That other person was a hero, not a coward. He went. He was worth a hundred William Geers. And for all we know, that person may have done his duty and, in consequence, died. But what happened was mostly a result of clo's decision to marry and have a child with a coward.

Now, I don't know how you who served feel about this. Maybe it makes you think more highly of Claudia. Not me. I think what she did was absolutely despicable.

But I'm sure she has some good points. When I figure out what one of 'em is, I'll let you know.
