Old? Who’s old?

I tried to enlist when I was 18 but was told I had to turn in my draft card. I told them I didn’t want to be drafted I wanted to enlist. They said if I wanted to enlist I needed to turn in my draft card - and the post office was around the corner and two blocks down.

So down I went and back - all to turn it in. Must have had it all of ten minutes.

But to sum it all up - If the left is for it, it must be a bad idea. That’s really the only place there is talk of this issue.

“Old? Who’s old?”

Oookay, you shamed me into one more round. While in Vietnam I got a letter from my mom stating my draft notice had arrived. I don’t know what ever became of it or what. However, not to long after serving my three years in the army I did receive another card, think I was 4-A, as I recall, meaning inactive reserves but no sure. About your last comment; I have several friends and associates, all conservatives, who are pro-draft.
