Just curious, but Cheney was 27-28 during the escalation in Vietnam, wasn't there an age limit on draftees? He seems a bit old to be drafted.
I could be wrong .. but I believe the cut off age was 26 yrs of age when the lottery went into effect
At that time Cheney was 27, married with a child .. and would not have been drafted
Kerry was 23/24 yrs old and not married at the time
