Not for nuthin, but someone born in late 1936 would have been 14 at the outbreak of the war. He would have been 17 at the time of the cease fire.
Not quite draft age.
He also would have turned 18 when there was a draft, which didn’t end until 1973. It always amazes me when I check up on the “tough guys’ who were quite willing in their youth to watch as other men left to train and serve. By the way, Sherrif Joe served and he’s basically in the same age group.
