That short fuse won't play well in Virginia.

"Born Fighting" might sell books. But it won't win elections.

FWIW

1) George Allen's draft number was 229.
2) He was eligible for the 1971 draft for 1972 induction.
3) Nixon was already withdrawing troops in 1971.

true.....he began withdrawal before the end of 1969.

for instance, the First Infantry Division was completely out by Apr, 1970

With a lottery number of 229 I wonder if he would have been called? Does anyone know of a web site that lists the draft lottery numbers with their corresponding birth dates and what numbers were called up on which year?
