What happened in 1993?
February 26th, 1993. The World Trade Center. A 1,500-pound bomb meant to knock the North Tower onto its twin, and the schemers hoped, bring down both, maybe taking 250,000 lives in the process. It didn't happen that way. Something went wrong. Still, six people were killed, and 1,042 were injured. And authorities that day talked about how they dodged a huge catastrophe that day.
How many soldiers dodged the Vietnam war?
You must mean "men"; couldn't be soldiers, if the men were already soldiers (or marines, or sailors, or air force men, or coastguardsmen) then THAT'S WHOSE FIGHTING THE WAR! In order for a quote "Soldier" to quote dodge "the Vietnam War" he'd have to either go AWOL/MISS MOVEMENT/or DESERT; that would be, quote, "dodging the war." Therefore, how many MEN dodged the Vietnam War...answer, would be in the millions. Only 22,000 men were indicted, of those, only 8,000 were convicted; of those only 4,000 men actually went to Federal Prison. In Conscience Objectors; there were well over 170,000 men. The rest of the draft dodgers were men headed for Canada and the College Students of America. College student deferments were by far the most popular and beneficial for the American male of the 1960s. Simply carry 18 units and a 2.0 average, and Uncle Sam couldn't touch ya! Make your teacher angry at you and he'd lower your grades...you'd be tot'n a rifle by the next year (he'd know that too!).
Why do Veterans get mistreated at home?
"American" military veterans were only "heavily" mistreated on two occasions: The US Civil War and the Vietnam War. 1. The Confederate soldiers/sailors who had fought for the south, were considered losers because they, 1) were considered traitors (by northerners) who had turned on their own country 2) had lost the war. 2. US GIs in Vietnam represented a threat to the not-yet-drafted American male, as he (the GI) had not fled to Canada or other wise successfully dodged the military draft. As one incident reflects this: "When a Vietnam vet amputee was noticed at an airport, and asked how he lost his limb, the veteran replied Vietnam; the questioner responded with, "you deserved it!" This was not an un-common feeling of US citizens against Vietnam War veterans during those times. And last, as in the US Civil War, the south lost again, and returning GIs were treated as "losers of the war."
Who started the hippie movement?
It's difficult to tie the start of a cultural phenomenon to a single person. Much of the hippie movement was an outgrowth of the "Beat generation," of the 1950s and early 60s, with added rebellion related to protests against the Vietnam War and the military draft.The US government is partly responsible for starting the hippie movement because they tested the use of LSD in California, spurring at least one of its participants to continue experimenting with the drug. Author Ken Kesey one of the participants who wrote reports on his experience for the government, later wrote a popular book, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, in which the protagonist, McMurphy, dodged the draft by feigning mental illness then rebelled against the hospital's establishment.Income from this book allowed Kesey and one of his friends, Neal Cassady, formed a group of rebels in San Francisco that called themselves the Merry Pranksters. Kesey, Cassady and people like Timothy Leary influenced other young writers of the era, who, in turn, influenced young people. Contrary to popular belief, the hippie movement had nothing to do with communism or the Communist Party.You can learn more about the beginning of the era in Tom Wolfe's book, The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test.

What does the saying dodged a bullet mean?
If you dodged a bullet, you had a very narrow escape. The image is of someone actually managing to get out of the way of a bullet fired at them. If you barely escaped something bad, you'd say "I really dodged the bullet." This is usually a figurative danger rather than a literal one -- mostly you hear the phrase in terms of a bad situation at work or home. An example would be "You really dodged the bullet when you managed to convince the boss that you really were home sick yesterday."
