“I’ve seen posts indicating sort of contempt for people who went to college during the nam draft to avoid said draft.”
Not everyone who went to college went for the purpose of avoiding the draft. I’d bet that most of them would have gone to college anyway.

Road apples. What are you doing on this site, anyway? Seems like you spew a lot of hippiedippie leftwad crap.
“…my uncle who cleverly avoided the draft…would make a perfectly good President.”

I’m a hippie? LOL.

My nephew lost a perfectly good left eye there as a marine ground pounder in Fallujah.
We haven’t been allowed to win a war since WWII. Fact.
Best we did was negotiated dmz in Korea.
