I never new draft selection was done by birthday, I always thought it was via SS#

I wonder if people born on February 29th were automatically disqualified due to the selection process.

I would have been called by one day, but probably would have told them to F off and moved to canada.

 

[Saganator]

Fuuucckkk that. 1970 too, right at the tail end when anti-war was at its highest. Hopefully I'd luck out and and get there just to turn around and go back home.

[JABEE]

Looking at that first photo, I'm disgusted by a bunch of old people sending young men to die in a pointless war.

It's always the old to lead us to the war.
It's always the young to fall.
Now look at all we've won with the saber and the gun.
Tell me was is worth it all.

I would have been drafted in 1970 if I was born in 1950.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Apparently I would have been drafted in 1970. Which means I would have fled to Mexico in 1970.

 

[Deleted member 20415]

I would have gone in 1970... #135...

That sucks.

[Fox318]

Apparently I would have been drafted in 1970. Which means I would have fled to Mexico in 1970.

And you'd miss out on the shore leave to bangkok?

 

[Wingfan19]

Do you just put the number for the Month or do you type it out? Poor UX.

If your draft number was 1, did you get a complimentary case of gangrene immediately for your early entry?

Dangit

 

[adamsappel]

138, called in 1970. I had a really weird emotional reaction to that I wasn't expecting. My father avoided Vietnam because he was married with a small child (me). I knew a few hippie family friends who deliberately flunked their physicals. It's so odd to contemplate compulsory military service, particularly during a war. The current American attitude towards military intervention would be a lot different if the draft were still in place.

 

[Allforce]

I'd love to see some alternate history with the US trying to pull this shit today. So many people would just flip them the bird and tell them to pound sand.

How many people got throw in prison for refusing to serve back then?

 

[Username1198]

Can't draft me if I willingly joined the Navy. Take that.

In any case being born on May 2 means I wouldn't have been drafted anyways.

Hey me too! May 2nd! I guess No draft for me either

 

[JohnDoe]

My number was called. I'm sure several GAFers would hoot and holler knowing I might die and not post my idiocy here anymore.

You're not Sculli or Servbot so we good.

 

[DeployThatPizza]

Safe by 2 days.
