Scata is the first conservative who I ever heard of that served in Vietnam. What happened to your deferment?
I had a college deferment for a while, but my life was too hard then (I was virtually homeless, working part-time as a janitor while attending college). When I didn't enroll for classes at the start of a semester, it took the draft authorities 8 DAYS to reclassify me 1A.... and my lotto number was low enough that I wasn't going to avoid being drafted. BTW.. I wouldn't describe my self as "A Conservative"... I don't hold to many of their values except for the desire for less government, fiscal responsibility.. If anything, I'd call myself a Libertarian. I'm a great admirer of Revolutionary Americans and the Founding Fathers. I LOATHE our present politicos... . I think Bush was PURE HORSESHIT as a president... and I believe Obama to be TEN TIMES WORSE...
