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. |

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. |

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. |
