Doesn't EVERY boy at 18 have to sign up for the draft, regardless? I went to high school with a blind boy and on his 18th birthday, someone took him to sign up. But Victor's blind, I said. Right, my teacher said, but he still has to sign up. He wouldn't get drafted - but the law says he has to sign up anyway.

Yep, Kim. That was the way it was back in the bad ol' days of '71 when I turned 18. I knew I was going to be 4F. So it didn't matter whether I was a concientious objector or not. I registered as a CO anyway because I really was and still am a concientious objector to war.
