Reply #51: An appt. with the draft board

[sandnsea]

I have to say, if you'd read anything on the topic, you'd know that. He made a special appt. with the military draft board people in advance, before he was actually called up. He took a special letter from his doctor, in addition to the routine records, to highlight his back. He went out of his way to make sure he didn't have to go. He avoided the draft. Please note, nowhere in here have I used the word dodged. Dodged would be a phony medical condition or something like that. Dean avoided. People agree all over this board, yep, he avoided and he was smart to do it.

But he didn't admit that when he first began talking about his physical. He didn't admit to taking a letter from his doctor, which is more than just medical records. He didn't admit to making a special appt. at the draft board. He didn't admit to not being willing to serve. He implied he was willing to go, showed up and they rejected him. It's a lie.
