No one waited until the day that got drafted to avoid the draft. Numbers were drawn in advance and everyone pretty much knew that really low numbers would get drafted. When Nixon stopped the war and ended the draft, many had already enlisted in fear of the draft.

Good point. Rather is not just pissing off ex- and current Nat. Guardsmen, but also those people who didn't even join the NG during the VN period. I was 1A for a number of years, but was never called up.

Did anyone else catch the weird cut in the footage last night.. if I remember correctly-it was right around the time the secretary was saying: "...because there were a lot of other boys in there the same way."

I mentioned something to my hubby about it at the time...

I am not even kidding.. So Did Dan already know about this too? This is too Funny! I(f anyone TIVO'ed.. go look.

Look, I'm normally a kind person. But it's time to pull the walker from under that democrat hack posing as a sweet old lady. If she can't take the heat, then get the hell out of Dan Rather's kitchen.

Meantime, Kerry's getting no press time. Is he still running for President?

I thought he was still in Cambodia...

"String pullers were in the Guard to do the minimumal amount of time, doing the minimal amount of work, with the minimum amount of responsibility. Their motivation was ADVOIDANCE, not to make a career choice."

I saw a retired TANG officer interviewed on tv, Friday I think, Brit I think, the guy said that slots for TANG pilots was a fairly small pool (not big numbers on a waiting list). Reason being the qualification requirements necessary to be a eligable to be a jet fighter pilot were/are among the most stringent.

Not to besmirch him, but if I recall correctly John McCain ejected from 4 jets, while not in combat, before ejecting in N Vietnam...apparently flying those things requires a heck of a lot of skill and talent.

Nobody will EVER have a chance, on camera, to put that question to Mrs. Knox. She has provided useful assistance to Dan Rather. She's done now.
