1970 Tijuana will have to make do.

 

[JetBlackPanda]

Draft number 97 was called in 1970 if I was born three days earlier I would not have been called.

I love the smell of napalm in the morning.

[CDX]

Drafted. 1 day earlier I wouldn't have been.

Can my local draft board quickly grant me conscientious objector status like George RR Martin got. With the reasoning being that conscientious objector status will be punishment enough because it will brand me a coward for life and ruin my entire life, so they'll give it to anyone that asks, just like they reasoned George RR Martin? Cause I'll take it. Could I be so lucky to have a local draft board like that?

Or was being gay enough to get out of that draft in 1970? Cause I am gay. So that would work for me too.


If not to either , HELLO CANADA!

 

[Loxley]

Fuck, #26, called in 1970. Would have been spared two days earlier.

If my number was seriously that low I would have saved myself the stress and just enlisted in the Navy before I could be called.

I imagine Iraq would have ended officially long ago had the draft been reinstated instead of the Bush administration using Stop Loss to keep service members in.

I had considered the Marine Corps prior to college...but Iraq happened before I graduated high school.

Safe by two hours.


(and by being born decades too late. and by not being a man.)



My dad's draft number did get called, but the army doctor told him he only had a year to live, he didn't go to war. (He's still alive and very healthy.) He's both extremely glad he lucked out of not going and bothered by the thought of the person who had to go in his place...
