I was going to comment that I too registered for the draft, as I turned after 1980. This does not mean that I was in danger of being drafted to serve in Viet Nam.

Thus, the registration of Edwards and/or BeardedBruce is not sufficient to answer the question "did I have to seek a deferment to avoid the draft?"

Thus, the whole question of Edwards and Beardedbruce is another right-wing red herring.
