Wow! These stores are so interesting! Makes ya wonder why we've never had one of these threads before, doesn't it?

My own story about military service is totally dull. I didn't dodge, didn't go through deferment hell, just slid through the end of the war with a high draft number, and never was called up. I was totally unscathed personally, but of course most everyone I knew wasn't. I did draft counseling (as in counseling against it), and I consider that my service to the country. :)

(Note to self: See, it WAS a good idea to start the thread, despite the begrudgers.)
