“You don’t get nuclear engineering qualified sailors through a draft.”

I can tell you were never subject to the draft. Draftees went into the Army in my time.

Just being factual, not really picky.

The Marines got quite a few from the draft and an occasional Sailor, but yes, Majority of draftees went Army.

Of course WJClinton implied those of us that enlisted in the Navy, Marines, AF, Coast Guard etc were ‘also’ Draft-Dodgers.

In words - maybe - for the most part he may be correct but he neglected to tell his ‘audience’ that his form of ‘Draft-Dodging’ was cowardly & despicable.
