"Oh yeah. One quarter I realized I was "out of phase" and that if the draft board realized it, I was rice paddy bound. It ended up OK and I was fortunate to keep my deferment. But, there were several days where I was literally sick with apprehension.

But you know, the draft, the war, the whole ball of crap, were always there, usually lurking in the background, but never gone. You just couldn't escape it."



Thanks.

I have not read truer words in this forum regarding the Vietnam War - even from the 1960s and present day heroes.

Thanks guys, that is the the type of thoughts I wanted to hear from someone who actually experienced the situation. Being drafted is so far out of comprehension for today's average person.
