To the best of my recollection of those times, the notice would have told
me to present myself at a local facility for a pre-induction physical. If
that's correct, then that is what I would have done, of course.

I keep telling you boys that something less than about a third of
age-eligible males were drafted. My only legal responsibility in the
draft during the time period was to let my draft board know my address so
it could reach me if it so desired, and I did so, with
registered/certified letters and return receipts. My draft board never bothered me.

Of all the guys I knew well from high school and college, only a handful
were drafted. When we have our summer get-togethers in New Haven, and
there are upwards of 50 old friends at these events, there were only two
I recall who were drafted or enlisted to avoid the draft.

We would have been better served as a nation if a huge percentage of
those actually drafted had refused to kill Vietnamese and had sought
military C.O. jobs during that idiotic war. The North Vietnamese were
never a threat to us in any way.

It's too bad Dubya didn't realize the stupidity of what he was doing in Iraq, eh?

Deferring'. What would you have done if you received the notice. And it
did not tell you to report for a preinduction physical. That was a
separate notice. The draft notice told you to report for induction. They
might not keep you after induction, but you were inducted. Friend was
drafted and sent home as he was too tall. Too tall, too short, too big of
feet, and the supplies did not fit you.

Harry could have probably squeezed into a DDD asshat.

D'oh. If I got such a notice, I would have showed up, as directed. That
should have been clear from my previous answer. You fellas seem to have
a lot of trouble reading, comprehending and abstracting uncomplicated
sentences.

Why would I have done that, JohnnyMop? The prospect of being drafted
didn't scare me, nor did the idea of being in the army, or whatever.
My presence might have scared you, though, since I might have
suggested that a racist officer like you was worthy of fragging.

Wasn't FlaJim on a navy ship during our atrocities against Vietnam?
Didn't take much courage to do that, eh?


WTF is "JohnnyMop"? Keep in mind, I'm not a teenager so I'm not up on

Got talked into a test ride today in a 2015 Corvette
convertible (don't
ask) at a dealership while I was waiting for something else
and was
impressed and disappointed. I was impressed with the car's
get up and go
and its cornering abilities...very nice. I was disappointed
with the
seeming hugeness of the car from the exterior and the
relatively tiny
passenger space inside. I was disappointed with the
garishness of the
interior, and the fit and finish of some items. I didn't
like the seats
all that much, and I thought the car rode, well, hard.

The sticker price on the car was $80,000. Dunno what it
might sell for...

Why do you constantly lie? You've claimed so much **** its
incredible.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, But didn't you state you
were shot at
while helping some black folks during a protest in 1965? I
do commend
you and the 11 others for the effort to help rebuid their
church, But
the fact is you were just a college kid working for the U of
Kansas as
a reporter. Google: "Harry Krause" University of Kansas. You
were never
shot at you were never even in the car. Cool story bro!

https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1955&dat=19650410&id=8DArAAAAIBAJ&s jid=yZkFAAAAIBAJ&pg=2695,4792117&hl=en

Apparently Harry has a long time self esteem problem which he
tries to
alleviate by making up grandiose stories about himself and his
imaginary possessions.

No wonder he loves Hillary. Even says the same lies about
being shot at.



That's the first time I've ever seen that news account. Jones
wasn't in
the car, either. The car was turned sideways on the road and we
were all
behind it. Jones did hit one of the shooters. He showed up at
one of the
clinics in the area, claiming he was shot in a hunting accident.
The
people we were staying with knew the guy, and his local
segregationist
history.

I did call the local police the next day to inquire whether
there were
any local shooting victims. I don't recall how the FBI found out,
because no one would talk to them...the local FBI guys allegedly
were in
the Klan or were Klan sympathizers. After our few days in
Louisiana, we
moved onto Mississippi to help out in voter registration drives.

Heroic, I say.



Some of us did what we could to help bring about the end of
segregation
and others went off to SE Asia to kill people who in reality meant
us no harm.

What would you have done with a draft notice?

before or after he pooped his pants?

Now *that* was funny! I'll bet even Don laughed his butt off.

Donnie gets all giggley at any mention of fecal matter or gas. Strange
but true.



Do you think his wife was impressed?

As I stated, the reference was to you, not Kerry. And Kerry is not and
never was my "idol." Have you always been so simple-minded?

To the best of my recollection of those times, the notice would have told
me to present myself at a local facility for a pre-induction physical. If
that's correct, then that is what I would have done, of course.

I keep telling you boys that something less than about a third of
age-eligible males were drafted. My only legal responsibility in the
draft during the time period was to let my draft board know my address so
it could reach me if it so desired, and I did so, with
registered/certified letters and return receipts. My draft board never bothered me.

Of all the guys I knew well from high school and college, only a handful
were drafted. When we have our summer get-togethers in New Haven, and
there are upwards of 50 old friends at these events, there were only two
I recall who were drafted or enlisted to avoid the draft.

We would have been better served as a nation if a huge percentage of
those actually drafted had refused to kill Vietnamese and had sought
military C.O. jobs during that idiotic war. The North Vietnamese were
never a threat to us in any way.

It's too bad Dubya didn't realize the stupidity of what he was doing in Iraq, eh?

Deferring'. What would you have done if you received the notice. And it
did not tell you to report for a preinduction physical. That was a
separate notice. The draft notice told you to report for induction. They
might not keep you after induction, but you were inducted. Friend was
drafted and sent home as he was too tall. Too tall, too short, too big of
feet, and the supplies did not fit you.


D'oh. If I got such a notice, I would have showed up, as directed. That
should have been clear from my previous answer. You fellas seem to have a
lot of trouble reading, comprehending and abstracting uncomplicated sentences.

Why would you show up? You seem to hate all those who did.

My guess is that he was 4F for mental or emotional reasons. Of course
it's also possible that he found a friendly, like minded medical

Didn't take much courage to do that, eh?

excluding you of course?

Sorry Krausie. You aren't there yet. Go back to school and study harder

abstract thinking,
the final, most complex stage in the development of cognitive thinking,
in which thought is characterized by adaptability, flexibility, and the
use of concepts and generalizations. Problem solving is accomplished by
drawing logical conclusions from a set of observations, such as making
hypotheses and testing them. This type of thinking is developed by 12 to
15 years of age, usually after some degree of education.

As I have stated several times, you have serious reading comprehension
problems. The alternative is that you are just plain stupid.

Once again, I wasn't drafted. That's all there is to it. I certainly
wasn't dumb enough to "volunteer" to serve in a military engaged in a
morally repugnant war against a people who represented no threat to us
and, in fact, had no interest in us. Our arrogance led us into taking
over a task the French failed to achieve, the reintroduction of
colonialism in SE Asia. Early on, it was apparent the government we were
propping up there was horribly corrupt.

We didn't learn our lessons there, though, what with Dubya's
"adventures" in Iraq and Afghanistan.

call. You seem to have trouble understanding that.

A bunch of BS.


As I have stated several times, you have serious reading comprehension
problems. The alternative is that you are just plain stupid.

Once again, I wasn't drafted. That's all there is to it. I certainly
wasn't dumb enough to "volunteer" to serve in a military engaged in a
morally repugnant war against a people who represented no threat to us
and, in fact, had no interest in us. Our arrogance led us into taking
over a task the French failed to achieve, the reintroduction of
colonialism in SE Asia. Early on, it was apparent the government we were
propping up there was horribly corrupt.

We didn't learn our lessons there, though, what with Dubya's "adventures"
in Iraq and Afghanistan.

My IQ is at least 30 points higher than yours. We did not learn our
lessons with LBJ in SEA. We did not learn our lessons with Clinton and an
air war in the Middle East and getting involved in a European war in
Bosnia. Or in Somalia. You are both stupid, extremely biased, and can not
comprehend most of what you read.

Both of the presidents that got us into the Vietnam war were card
carrying members of the Democratic political party as I recall.

A vote for Hillary would bring more of the same.

Actually Ike was the first one to really crank it up. Truman screwed the
pooch by letting the French back in to IndoChina. Ike ignored the only
really good advice DeGulle ever spoke. After the French Foreign Legion
with American Ammunition being supplied got crushed, DeGulle told Ike to
just stay out. But Ike did not.

What would you have done with a draft notice?


To the best of my recollection of those times, the notice would have told
me to present myself at a local facility for a pre-induction physical. If
that's correct, then that is what I would have done, of course.

I keep telling you boys that something less than about a third of
age-eligible males were drafted. My only legal responsibility in the
draft during the time period was to let my draft board know my address so
it could reach me if it so desired, and I did so, with
registered/certified letters and return receipts. My draft board never bothered me.

Of all the guys I knew well from high school and college, only a handful
were drafted. When we have our summer get-togethers in New Haven, and
there are upwards of 50 old friends at these events, there were only two
I recall who were drafted or enlisted to avoid the draft.

We would have been better served as a nation if a huge percentage of
those actually drafted had refused to kill Vietnamese and had sought
military C.O. jobs during that idiotic war. The North Vietnamese were
never a threat to us in any way.

It's too bad Dubya didn't realize the stupidity of what he was doing in Iraq, eh?

Deferring'. What would you have done if you received the notice. And it
did not tell you to report for a preinduction physical. That was a
separate notice. The draft notice told you to report for induction. They
might not keep you after induction, but you were inducted. Friend was
drafted and sent home as he was too tall. Too tall, too short, too big of
feet, and the supplies did not fit you.


D'oh. If I got such a notice, I would have showed up, as directed. That
should have been clear from my previous answer. You fellas seem to have a
lot of trouble reading, comprehending and abstracting uncomplicated sentences.

Why would you show up? You seem to hate all those who did.



1. I would have shown up because I wasn't a draft dodger or evader. I
simply wasn't drafted. That's all there is to it.

2. No, I don't. I had little respect for the institution of the military
and its leadership during the Vietnam era and also during Dubya's two
wars because they apparently did not tell the presidents at the time,
privately, of course, that what they were doing was deadly folly.

I don't have any issues with the men and women who served, well, other
than the assholes here who served, but my disdain for them isn't related
to their time in uniform, for the most part, though I do wonder how many
non-combatant SE Asians one of them in particular helped kill.

Perhaps you should avoid political discussions. You don't seem to
comprehend what you read. I said from the start that I took no measures
to avoid the draft and that I would have shown up if I had gotten the
call. You seem to have trouble understanding that.

Since you thought it was a repugnant war, and seem to despise those who
were drafted, you either would have fled to Canada, or been section 8 .

Got talked into a test ride today in a 2015 Corvette convertible (don't

seeming hugeness of the car from the exterior and the relatively tiny
passenger space inside. I was disappointed with the garishness of the
interior, and the fit and finish of some items. I didn't like the seats
all that much, and I thought the car rode, well, hard.

The sticker price on the car was $80,000. Dunno what it might sell for...

Why do you constantly lie? You've claimed so much **** its incredible.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, But didn't you state you were shot at
while helping some black folks during a protest in 1965? I do commend
you and the 11 others for the effort to help rebuid their church, But
the fact is you were just a college kid working for the U of Kansas as
a reporter. Google: "Harry Krause" University of Kansas. You were never
shot at you were never even in the car. Cool story bro!

Apparently Harry has a long time self esteem problem which he tries to
alleviate by making up grandiose stories about himself and his
imaginary possessions.

No wonder he loves Hillary. Even says the same lies about being shot at.
