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

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.

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?

I am not defending Harry but I have to ask this question to you, Booger,
Herring and Reggie....

Why the hell are you guys so obsessed about him and his past/present life?
I can understand 3rd graders engaged in that behavior, but not grown men.
You are all making an ass of yourself. *Grow up.- Hide quoted text -

I can't speak for them, but I can for me. I have been laid up for a
while, and bored too. Sparing with Harry is fun, I think he likes it
too, what's the harm? a bunch of crazy old men waiting for the snow to
melt...

Sparring with soft butter is much more fun, and more mentally stimulating.
