BTW the army did draft people in your position, if they had

they wanted computer guys ... and he was married with a kid.
Evidently they had all of the liberal arts people they needed.

Right, because what use would the military have for someone
with
language skills in Russian and German, and knowledge of group
dynamics
(sociology), and skills to teach English to nincompoops. I'm
happy the
military had no use for me.

Evidently not. If they really thought you had something they
needed
they would have drafted you. They certainly had no need for a
liberal
arts style of group dynamics and the only thing they wanted to
say in
Russian is "You better stay in Russia or we will **** you up".

Oh...you think draft boards thought beyond filling a quota.
That?s
a laugh.
A member of a KC draft board who worked at the paper told me all
they were
looking for were young men who could pass the preinduction
physical with
reasonable health. Once they met their quota, they stopped
looking. Period.
Perhaps the standards were a hair higher for enlisted. Perhaps.

So you had a thyroid condition back then too?

Nope, just not stupid.Â* In college, for b.a. and m.a., reclassified
after
that, not drafted (I was about 23 then), and got a high lottery
number.
Delighted.

Math seems to say if you were 23 in 1970, the first year they had
draft lottery numbers (actually issued in Dec 1969), you were
born in
1947. That certainly does not match the rest of the story. You have
alluded to being born before 1944 so you would have been 25+ when
you
got a lottery number. The draft was over if you were 26 and most 25
year olds were not bother by it either.

Have you ever seen a Fat Harry made up story where the facts or
Â*Â* numbers added up?. Fat Harry is a consistant, but not very good,
Â*Â* liar.

Have you ever in your life had a thought that made you sound
intelligent? There's no other poster here or in recent memory who
comes
across as consistently stupid as you do. If you were still in public
school, your guidance counselor would be telling your parents you
suffered from developmental delays and suggesting you be examined for
some sort of neurological injury.

Not trying to be a whistle blower but I can assure you ... it's an act
for your benefit.

It's funny to watch because you are the only one taking it seriously.

Yeah, in real life Justan is the intellectual successor to the late
Stephen
Hawking. Your buddy is a cipher.

How could you possibly know?Â* Your only input is what you read here
and it's an act.

It's ok though.Â* Makes me chuckle.

An act, eh? Doubtful. Although he certainly has you fooled. I don't
think he's playing stupid.

Has *me* fooled? Ha ha ha. Sorry pal but I've known him a lot longer
than you up front and personal like. It's an act for your benefit ...
and ours. But far be it from me to spoil your impressions and his fun.
