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?



Dear Dumb John:

You got drafted, right? Your question, therefore, is asked and answered.



It must suck to be so embarrassed that you have to snip three-fourths of a
post before replying.

John H

He was deferred,reclassified 1A,dropped off the list, and blessed by a twist
of fate. Seems like he went to a lot of trouble to stay home with the girls.
And now he finally declares that he is not a draft dodger. I guess we should
believe him. Eh. Harry wouldn't lie, would he?
