4. I served in the army from May 31, 1963 to May 29, 1967.

I enlisted with the knowledge that under no circumstances would I ever be sent to a war zone. It wasn't that they were afraid I would be killed, they just didn't want me captured. They had to draft men with lower IQs because there are so many jobs in the military that will keep you out of harm's way.
