Geraldo Rivera - draft dodger and wannabe?

[Greg Linscott]

One wonders about the motives driving an individuals'
actions/ambitions. Looks like our "action hero" Geraldo once had a
chance to go to the big dance (Vietnam) and squandered it. Now doomed
to chase the elusive "holy graille" of his youth; a tour in a combat
zone. Pathetic! - LMAO

Not only did he marry to dodge the draft, his next wife is daughter of
WWII veteran and POW Kurt Vonnegut. So close Geraldo! You can almost
taste it, it is so elusive, you want it desperately. - LMAO Big Time.

Best Regards
