Don’t have much yet, but as per yesterday’s posts, I was especially happy they stopped drafting because my lottery number was 6. Unlike both my older brothers, I hadn’t developed any allergies at that time, so I’m betting I’d have been slogging thru paddies by ‘74. My middle bro turned 18 in ‘67. When the lottery started, his number was 1. Mom told me that. He was 4f for allergies and stayed in school. As I recall, that lottery was started because the poor guys that couldn’t go to college got a trip to Nam, while the “ rich” kids got college deferments. And there were a lot less black guys in college than white guys. So they had to even things up and did so by removing the loophole of college deferment. Well I guess I should call it a day. I’ll check back when the sun’s up. |
