My buddy was drafted within months after graduating because they wanted computer guys ... and he was married with a kid. Evidently they had all of the liberal arts people they needed. Right, because what use would the military have for someone with language skills in Russian and German, and knowledge of group dynamics (sociology), and skills to teach English to nincompoops. I'm happy the military had no use for me. Evidently not. If they really thought you had something they needed they would have drafted you. They certainly had no need for a liberal arts style of group dynamics and the only thing they wanted to say in Russian is "You better stay in Russia or we will **** you up". Oh...you think draft boards thought beyond filling a quota. That’s a laugh. A member of a KC draft board who worked at the paper told me all they were looking for were young men who could pass the preinduction physical with reasonable health. Once they met their quota, they stopped looking. Period. Perhaps the standards were a hair higher for enlisted. Perhaps. So you had a thyroid condition back then too? |
