Deuces to that POS draft dodger

If he had dodged the draft, he would have run off to a foreign country, or finagled some kind of deferment, either of which would have been easy to do with his resources and connections. Instead, he refused induction and accepted the consequences, which were significant, both personally and professionally. And other than that, he's lived a pretty exemplary life.
