re: And pretending that physical deferments were the only type that would keep you out of the military is silly. There were a number of other types that could get you out. Did you read my post? I listed all the draft classifications, including the ones you listed. re: 3,000 people died as a result of buildings collapsing after being hit by jetliners in 2001. Does that mean I should never enter a skyscraper again? What are you talking about? I'm for the draft. John

"There are some matters you forget." He mentioned all of those. There were enough deferments that if you didn't go to college, didn't work in a job that was considered essential, weren't married and if married and didn't have a child yet, the chances of you being drafted was pretty high. Especially at the peak. Needless to say, the higher your socio-economic status was, the more likely you were to be in a position to have a deferment, except possibly being married with enough kids.
