I tuned 18 in December of 1970. Already had one semester of college under my
belt (student deferment) and had a high draft number as extra insurance.
Ironically, I joined the Coast Guard in July of 1975, shortly after
hostilities ended, and stayed for twenty years.

excellent point. young people would be more interested if they were being

Sad day when the likes of Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter (and others of
