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". My wife’s best childhood friend married a West Point grad. The military sent him to the Sorbonne for French and the defense language institute for Vietnamese. Language specialist. Maybe they figured your grasp of Russian and German would only be good for writing simple jingles. Or the fat disqualified you. The draft board would have absolutely no knowledge of Harry's grasp of Russian or German ... or anything else for that matter. In those days you were just a name with a number who had registered for the draft when you turned 18. |
