I was wondering this myself.  Was he in college?  We know he never got a degree.

He was in jail? Convict?

he would have turned 18 in 1963, so he deff was of age to fight in nam. i really think he was a draft dodger.

[norland2424]

Up until 1969, if your name was called you went to the local draft board and if they knew you or your family, they usually didn't pick you. In 1969, they went to the lottery system because their was so much corruption in the local draft boards.

I don't know if this is the best article, but up until 1969 it was common to get out of your draft notice, especially if you were the only male surviving heir.

the problem is he would have turned 18 in 63, lol am i only the one who thinks that he ended being a draft dodger, he is a super hippy.

The draft board probably wondered what a helmet would do to that hair and decided he was meant for greater things.

p.s. In 63 not many people were actually drafted. I am too tired to look up how many people we're drafted in the 60's but I am sure the data is out there.

for all we know he did serve and was part of MACV-SOG

ffs just enforce the laws that already on the books, and give BP/ICE more power to enforce said laws.

I don't understand why young Mexican men sneak into the country. Mexican women's asses don't get huge until they hit 40
