Maybe but one of the guys had his draft notice when he joined the
marines at 19 (in 1966). I suspect the age started creeping down after
65 when we really admitted there was a war going on.
That could well be. In '67-'68 we got a huge shipment of McNamara's 100,000 troops in Germany. The
Army was scraping the bottom of the barrel then, and we sure suffered for it. I left Germany for
Vietnam at the end of '68, and I was glad to get away.
My golfing buddy that I have known since 3d grade was one of those. He
graduated from college in june of 68 and was drafted within 6 months.
They ended up making him a computer guy in Germany.
That is where he took up golf.
