Fair enough for what they did about the issue of going to VN and what they did there. What they did after - like Kerry's 1971 VVAW activities - I see that as very different. The VN vets have good reason to have a grudge against him IMO.

received a good number.
In hindsight I wished I would have enlisted and went. I would have lived several years within a few.
Truth be told however, at that point in time, had I been ordered to go, I would probably now be Canadien.


I got a very high number. At the time I was agonizing over what course to take in life career-wise. I took the high number in the draft lottery to be a sign to not consider the military. If I'd gotten a low number, I'd have seen that as a sign I should enlist. I'd have probably enlisted in whatever I figured I could learn some kind of trade in.
