The last three years of the last draft era (1970-1973) was done by lottery numbers. Your birth date was assigned a #1-366. They only drafted people who had a number below #100. Everyone else #101-366 got a free pass. The good ole days.....:yeahright:

I think all the members of my old local draft board (1173) was Battan Death March survirours. They wanted me to go kill as many Asians as possible, I tried explaining to them, that's not my cup of tea, but they insisted I go. Drafted summer of '67...the summer of love.
