re: Thoughts on people to dodged the draft for the Vietnam War?

When I turned 18 a lot of my classmates were afraid of being drafted and going army so they enlisted in Navy or Air Force so they could have some say about their position.
I was a library nut so I had done a lot of research about numbers. When the govt said 1/3 of 1A guys would get drafted I knew they were lying because my calculations of need = no more than 20%. I took those odds and didn't get called.
When I registered for the draft the guy looked at my weight and said I was 4 lbs. from being 4-F. He asked if I took diet pills and I laughed and said 'No, it's called lack of food.'
