“Medical and college deferments are not draft dodging.”
Matter of opinion. If someone stayed in school just to maintain their II-S status, then it was draft dodging, or at least draft avoidance. Many suddenly made plans to further their college education after receiving their Bachelor’s simply to keep the student deferment.
When one male of draft age kept hanging on to the student deferment year after year, then someone else registered at his local draft board had to be selected to fill each month’s quota.
I believe you're sugar coating it. The really bad part is that these cowards were not known for their high intellect - so they went for the easiest of degrees so they wouldn't flunk out of school. Their degree in most cases was in education. That is the part that really burns my a$$....these pu$$ies are the people that poison my children's mind in the classroom.
