He had draft number 300. Care to call other FReepers with high lottery numbers draft dodgers as well?
He SOUGHT and OBTAINED a deferment from the LDS church to go on a mission to France...this was BEFORE there was a lottery and when he had been classified as I-A by his draft board. He spent almost three years in France, THEN came back when he got a high draft number. His five sons have never been in the military either, but he has claimed their CAMPAIGNING for him in their air-conditioned party bus equals that of the duty a typical man or woman in the militay is doing for our country--BTW a typical soldier in Iraq humps about 50 pounds of gear 18 hours a day in searing 122-degree heat while getting shot at.
