Harry is younger than me so he would have gotten a draft lottery number in
1969-70. Applied to birth years 1944 on. I was born 1943,but had already
been sent a draft notice in 1964. His deferments hid him for at least
6years with a masters degree. So maybe they were not drafting 24 year olds
then, and he did not have a critical skill degree.
Darn...you mean I didn't get edu-ma-cated in some field useful enough to
get myself drafted during our war against SE Asia? Darn, darn,
darn...I'm so disappointed.
And once again, I got my B.A. and M.A. in five years, not six.
My buddy had BS in math and they did not think that would make him a
better gook killer, they thought he would be a better computer whiz
and that is what they drafted him for. He spent most of his enlistment
in a computer center in Germany.
Evidently a MA in some liberal arts field was not very attractive to
the government at that time or they would have called you too.
