==================================
He once told me that he had a college deferment and that kept him off
the list for that time. That was the case with a lot of people at the
time, including my district manager. And, you know what? I don't blame
them one damn bit!! I would have avoided that war as quickly as
anyone. Our Idiot-in-Chief took us into one of the worst wars
imaginable and the expected the youth of the country to go fight it.
And for what?? There was no winner, only a lot of losers.....



Yep...I was II-S for a while. But then I graduated, and my draft status
changed to I-A. But then...fate intervened. I certainly never "dodged"
the draft.

Harry,
Did you go into your "fate intervention" straight out of college?
