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?

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.



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.

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.

Before or after, as Justan said, you pooped your pants.

Be honest now.

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?

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.

When you serve in the military you serve at the pleasure of the
commander in chief. Do you know what that means? I would imagine that
would scare the ****e out of you. Had you been selected I suspect you'd
be weeded out in your initial mental/physical screening or certainly at
boot camp.

It would have been amusing to see him in basic training. We had a few
characters with an attitude in my company. Some went AWOL, some got
recycled and some were injured in "training accidents."
