Wrong again, schitt-for-brains. I was *exempted* from the draft because of
my civilian job at the time. What were you doing in Vietnam, killing
Vietnamese to make Vietnam safe for democracy?



Hmmmm.... you just got me to thinking.....

I know you are a few years older than I .... maybe four.
Means you graduated high school in about ..... maybe 1962 -1963 ...

Assume you attended that college in Kansas you have mentioned .... or
wherever.
BA in Liberal Arts or Journalism or something, as you have mentioned.

So, I am wondering .... 1967 - 1968 was the peak of the draft period ....
very difficult for exemptions, even for some still *in* school, but not
maintaining a minimum grade point average.

So, again, I am wondering .....

What kind of civilian job was so important and critical to the government
that an exception would be made for a person with a Liberal Arts degree, on
which the ink had barely dried?
