Oh, yeah, you boys were really at risk during your enlistments... Paper
cuts and all...

Climbing in the superstructure in a North Atlantic storm in December
is a tad more dangerous that drowning from a beer bong in the dorm.

If those were your choices, you made the wrong choice.

Yeah I suppose I could have dodged the draft and sat around the frat
drinking beer and smoking dope. How was it?

I would not have traded my experience for your choice.

I don't know "how it was," as I didn't dodge the draft or drink much
beer. I didn't like beer all that much back then, and I don't like it
all that much now.

The majority of military-aged young men were *not* drafted during our
debacle in Vietnam. There were many, of course, who enlisted in order to
avoid the draft. Weren't you one of those?
