“I did not serve.”
I didn’t, either. The first year I was eligible for the draft, I had a high number. The draft ended the year after that. If I had been notified of being drafted, I probably would have enlisted in the Air Force (I had been in Civil Air Patrol), though my eyesight would have precluded me from being a pilot. But I agree with his point about how most of the “elites,” including every Democrat president since Carter, were people who avoided service.
