Moron. 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.
