What would you have done with a draft notice?



To the best of my recollection of those times, the notice would have told
me to present myself at a local facility for a pre-induction physical. If
that's correct, then that is what I would have done, of course.

I keep telling you boys that something less than about a third of
age-eligible males were drafted. My only legal responsibility in the
draft during the time period was to let my draft board know my address so
it could reach me if it so desired, and I did so, with
registered/certified letters and return receipts. My draft board never bothered me.

Of all the guys I knew well from high school and college, only a handful
were drafted. When we have our summer get-togethers in New Haven, and
there are upwards of 50 old friends at these events, there were only two
I recall who were drafted or enlisted to avoid the draft.

We would have been better served as a nation if a huge percentage of
those actually drafted had refused to kill Vietnamese and had sought
military C.O. jobs during that idiotic war. The North Vietnamese were
never a threat to us in any way.

It's too bad Dubya didn't realize the stupidity of what he was doing in Iraq, eh?


Deferring'. What would you have done if you received the notice. And it
did not tell you to report for a preinduction physical. That was a
separate notice. The draft notice told you to report for induction. They
might not keep you after induction, but you were inducted. Friend was
drafted and sent home as he was too tall. Too tall, too short, too big of
feet, and the supplies did not fit you.

Harry could have probably squeezed into a DDD asshat.

D'oh. If I got such a notice, I would have showed up, as directed. That
should have been clear from my previous answer. You fellas seem to have
a lot of trouble reading, comprehending and abstracting uncomplicated
sentences.

Have you noticed how his syntax and grammar have gone all to hell
recently? The same thing happened to Skipper 10 years ago when he was
going off the deep end.

Why would I have done that, JohnnyMop? The prospect of being drafted
didn't scare me, nor did the idea of being in the army, or whatever.
My presence might have scared you, though, since I might have
suggested that a racist officer like you was worthy of fragging.

Wasn't FlaJim on a navy ship during our atrocities against Vietnam?
Didn't take much courage to do that, eh?


WTF is "JohnnyMop"? Keep in mind, I'm not a teenager so I'm not up on
the latest dumb, adolescent, insults.

Got talked into a test ride today in a 2015 Corvette
convertible (don't
ask) at a dealership while I was waiting for something else
and was
impressed and disappointed. I was impressed with the car's
get up and go
and its cornering abilities...very nice. I was disappointed
with the
seeming hugeness of the car from the exterior and the
relatively tiny
passenger space inside. I was disappointed with the
garishness of the
interior, and the fit and finish of some items. I didn't
like the seats
all that much, and I thought the car rode, well, hard.

The sticker price on the car was $80,000. Dunno what it
might sell for...

Why do you constantly lie? You've claimed so much **** its
incredible.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, But didn't you state you
were shot at
while helping some black folks during a protest in 1965? I
do commend
you and the 11 others for the effort to help rebuid their
church, But
the fact is you were just a college kid working for the U of
Kansas as
a reporter. Google: "Harry Krause" University of Kansas. You
were never
shot at you were never even in the car. Cool story bro!

https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1955&dat=19650410&id=8DArAAAAIBAJ&s jid=yZkFAAAAIBAJ&pg=2695,4792117&hl=en

Apparently Harry has a long time self esteem problem which he
tries to
alleviate by making up grandiose stories about himself and his
imaginary possessions.

No wonder he loves Hillary. Even says the same lies about
being shot at.



That's the first time I've ever seen that news account. Jones
wasn't in
the car, either. The car was turned sideways on the road and we
were all
behind it. Jones did hit one of the shooters. He showed up at
one of the
clinics in the area, claiming he was shot in a hunting accident.
The
people we were staying with knew the guy, and his local
segregationist
history.

I did call the local police the next day to inquire whether
there were
any local shooting victims. I don't recall how the FBI found out,
because no one would talk to them...the local FBI guys allegedly
were in
the Klan or were Klan sympathizers. After our few days in
Louisiana, we
moved onto Mississippi to help out in voter registration drives.

Heroic, I say.



Some of us did what we could to help bring about the end of
segregation
and others went off to SE Asia to kill people who in reality meant
us no harm.

What would you have done with a draft notice?

before or after he pooped his pants?


Now *that* was funny! I'll bet even Don laughed his butt off.

Donnie gets all giggley at any mention of fecal matter or gas. Strange
but true.



Do you think his wife was impressed?

But Kerry's shooting a 16 year-old in the back was very appropriate, eh?

What an f'ing hypocrite, Krause.
