I wasn't drafted,


In other words they looked at you and said no thanks.


Yet another example of your detachment from reality. My only connection
with the draft was to keep my local draft board informed of my
whereabouts during the years I might have been drafted. "They" never
told me to report for a pre-induction physical or sent me draft notice,
so, therefore, they never looked at me. Perhaps if you had been exposed
to the rigor of academia, your thought processes would be...sharper.


They just looked at your course of study and decided you had no skills
they needed. My buddy the math and computer major was drafted within
months of his graduation, put in a computer support unit and sent to
Germany. When he got out, there was no problem getting a very good
government job.
