If that were the case, wouldn't he have said so? Harry asserts that his
name was "removed from the list".
Not that I am a fan of harry's, but I don't see why Harry owes you or
anybody else an explanation.
==================================
He once told me that he had a college deferment and that kept him off
the list for that time. That was the case with a lot of people at the
time, including my district manager. And, you know what? I don't blame
them one damn bit!! I would have avoided that war as quickly as
anyone. Our Idiot-in-Chief took us into one of the worst wars
imaginable and the expected the youth of the country to go fight it.
And for what?? There was no winner, only a lot of losers.....



Yep...I was II-S for a while. But then I graduated, and my draft status
changed to I-A. But then...fate intervened. I certainly never "dodged"
the draft.

Harry, did you not earlier say that only the stupid got drafted?

Would this not imply that you exercised some sort of 'gifted intelligence'
to keep from getting drafted?

Do you see how your lies and silly comments cause people to question
everything you say?
