I'm sure you checked out the rest of your "facts" as well as this one.
There are *535* members of Congress.

A misadventure from beginning to end and it served no useful purpose
other than enriching the military-industrial contractors.

Viet Nam Era That's when Krause was shaking in his sneakers fearing being
drafted. I wasn't drafted, by the way.

Wrong again, schitt-for-brains. I was *exempted* from the draft because
of my civilian job at the time. What were you doing in Vietnam, killing
Vietnamese to make Vietnam safe for democracy?

I wish I could believe you Harry, but your track record for telling the
truth isn't too good.

Hmmmm.... you just got me to thinking.....

I know you are a few years older than I .... maybe four.
Means you graduated high school in about ..... maybe 1962 -1963 ...

Assume you attended that college in Kansas you have mentioned .... or
wherever.
BA in Liberal Arts or Journalism or something, as you have mentioned.

So, I am wondering .... 1967 - 1968 was the peak of the draft period ....
very difficult for exemptions, even for some still *in* school, but not
maintaining a minimum grade point average.

So, again, I am wondering .....

What kind of civilian job was so important and critical to the government
that an exception would be made for a person with a Liberal Arts degree, on
which the ink had barely dried?

A few of us were "there".

Careful... when you back him into a corner, he'll start throwing grade
school insults at you. g
