Positive portrayal of a Hispanic character
I am glad to see that in a movie.
shareA draft dodger is positive? It is all BS anyway. If his brother was killed in Viet Nam, they wouldn't send him too!
shareMy uncle went to Vietnam as a volunteer, and he thinks the draft dodgers were the smart ones.
shareDid it work that way (i.e. if a relative died in Nam you were given an exemption)? Being a Latino probably counted against him. I can imagine that a rich white kid might be able to get a doctor to sign them off from serving on the basis of PTSD.
