22 years active for me. 'Never saw squadron and crew mates on morgue table,
but I've seen their names on the Memorial Wall in DC several times. That's
tough, too, especially when remembering the policies and circumstances that
put 'em there.

Sorry, just one more question:
How many have seen their squadron mate on a morgue table?
Carry on. Talk amongst yourselves.

Vietnam era logic using a mix of fact and presumptions:
1. Cut off your junk and live as a woman with ZERO chance of changing
back.
Live with the culture as a tranny in 1960's, with all the social
rejection
that came with it, then.
2. Maintain a 2S student deferment, stay in college, get a degree, and
if
drafted, enter OCS and serve as an Officer.
3. Stay in college, chase hot chicks, play the draft lottery and hope
your
number doesn't get drawn.
4. Run North to Canada [eh], live as a draft dodger in Canada, wait out
the
war.
5. Join up in the service of your choice, hope you draw an MOS that
isn't
"line grunt cannon fodder" and spend your enlistment 2 yrs as a clerk
typist in a stateside assignment.
6. Join up, volunteer of Vietnam.. take your chances you won't get your
junk shot off and will survive the 1 yr tour..
You are 18 yrs. old.. faced with life for the first time in your young
life.. you decide..
Facts indicate that few took option 1. Some tried to spoof induction
centers with the "Dress like a woman" but were found out.. and inducted
for
"special duty assignments" ... like permanent latrine duty.. [Hey.. the
"new military had not arrived just yet, back then.]

There weren't many back then, there aren't many today.
Someone is trying to do whatever - it certainly ain't us.
Media is playing us as schmucks.
