Where was O'Reilly in 1969?
He's about draftable age, so what was the deal with him? Did his number ever come up, and if so, did he defer it?
It's obvious he didn't go National Guard....he couldn't be such a military dunce if he had.
I'm not saying what either man did was dishonorable.
I AM saying that neither man, for whatever reasons, is comfortable with what he did. The details may never be known.
