Back in your day, if you could fog a mirror, you could enlist in the naveee...if you wanted... .... Harry, did you have problems fogging a mirror then? No, Timmy, I was in college and I saw no need to enlist to help slaughter a million SE Asians in an absolutely absurd war. Afraid they might shoot back huh? Besides, when you were 18, there was no war, at least not one we would admit to. The question should have been...why would I want to shoot at SW Asians for any reason, since they represented no threat to the United States or its allies, well, except maybe to the totally corrupt South Vietnamese government, eh? Years after your eligibility, LBJ was still saying there was no chance that you would have to shoot at anyone. (unless we are moving your age around again) My age isn’t moving, other than year by year. My undergrad deferment ended in the mid 1960s. Once again, you are spewing hot air but no substance. You were 18 during the JFK administration, What war? I was still subject to the draft years later...in fact, I seem to remember getting a lottery number in 1969 or 1970. I don't remember my number, but I do recall it was a high number. It's funny that you try to come across so sure of yourself, but you simply don't have the facts straight. You were subject to the draft the day you turned 18. You just hid out in school for 4 years with a deferment. Harry is younger than me so he would have gotten a draft lottery number in 1969-70. Applied to birth years 1944 on. I was born 1943,but had already been sent a draft notice in 1964. His deferments hid him for at least 6years with a masters degree. So maybe they were not drafting 24 year olds then, and he did not have a critical skill degree. Darn...you mean I didn't get edu-ma-cated in some field useful enough to get myself drafted during our war against SE Asia? Darn, darn, darn...I'm so disappointed.  And once again, I got my B.A. and M.A. in five years, not six. My buddy had BS in math and they did not think that would make him a better gook killer, they thought he would be a better computer whiz and that is what they drafted him for. He spent most of his enlistment in a computer center in Germany. Evidently a MA in some liberal arts field was not very attractive to the government at that time or they would have called you too. |
