This was the live draft lottery to send kids to Vietnam, was your birthdate picked?

[uneducated]

The aborignals got to skip the Australian one. Started 60 years ago the free rides

Didn't your country lose a war with birds?

Actually, if you look at recent wars, the front lines were disproportionately from the poor, including black and hispanic people. The US government's promise of free education was used to recruit them as cannon fodder. I love how you think you are a victim. You are, but far less so than them. But all the lower class folk are getting assraped by the capitalists.

You idiot, I was talking about if there was a draft. Yeah, as of now, they lure people in with benefits that only sounds good for people who don't have better options.

Anyways, funny how liberals have been all anti-nationalism saying it's xenophobic to be patriotic and love your country, even trying to say being patriotic is being a terrorists, and now they can't meet recruiting goals. Talking about trans-gender soldiers, just LOL... you can't win a war with that!

My birthday had draft #286, so I would not have been called thank goodness.

For the record, I am a leftist, not a liberal. And I have always been antinationalist. The whole woke military thing is a tactic known as pinkwashing. It's normal to love your country. It's not normal to make sacred a flag or adopt a nationalist mythology that deifies founders and erases their atrocities. It's not normal to take excessive pride in your country and be ignorant of others and demonize them.

The US is currently assisting in mass ethnic cleansing and possibly genocide. To actively condone this is to literally condone state terrorism.

The US military clothes itself in woke bullchit to conceal its imperialism and blood soaked history.

"If we don't stop them over there, we will be fighting them over here"

Sound familiar? and people are still falling for this BS.

[OutdoorBrah]

My birthday was picked. Guess its time to learn the words to Fortunate Son

[Pats2022SBwin]

I would have lucked out in 69' but would have gotten called in 1970-72.

69 truly is a lucky number

Yep. Same domino theory too.

History repeats itself. First as tragedy. Second as farce.

What's really crazy is that the war was already over here, and pushing kids into a pointless war led to a successful anti-government/anti-establishment movement.

Just look around today.

Communist subversion won and it didn't require a single boot on the ground here.

It's pretty funny how a lot of MAGA rhetoric sounds vaguely Marxist. I have faith you will all see the light.

Everybody's birthday was picked. When in the order it was picked is what was important.

260 master race here.

You're Russian so you don't know how it works. Here in America, you have to sign up for Selective Services or you go to jail. They have your birthday and everything. They send you a letter if you are chosen. If you dodge, they come and arrest you. You could skip town, but there would be a warrant out for you. Technically, you could just avoid ever being registered (many states register you automatically if you get a drivers' license), but you'd never be allowed any state benefits, student loans, etc. I think you can still get social security and medicare though.

Mornin'....

I tried the link.
It states I would have been #346.
Although, for some reason, I'm not real clear on what that actually means.

Back to it.

It means that out of 366 birthdays yours was chosen 346th. The further down the list you were the less likely you were to be given an M16 and sent off to go kill Charlie.

Your draft number 147 was called in 1970.

If your birthday was just 1 day earlier, your draft number would not have been called


just my luck

[Wayne Evans]

Got it...thx.

The televised lottery was like some Hunger Games shhit.

[OneLegSquats]

All that just to get dumped in a sweaty jungle, fall into a chit covered spike trap and die from multiple snake bites.
Strong everything

easy way to find out if you would have been called https://www.usatoday.com/vietnam-war/draft-picker/

Howdy....they are called punji pits .

[outfoxxed]

Ex GF back in high school, her dad knew he would be drafted, so he joined the Air Force, and became a dental assistant, and was stationed in the UK.

Guessing he got PTSD? Hope they awarded him a Medal of Honor for his service

[jimbob007]

Death Lottery more like.

[mryamamoto]

I would've been picked.

Lucky for me, I'm Vietnamese.

I would not have been called.

Not called.

We are willing to lower standards so that black women can become surgeons. We will definitely lower them for soldiers.

Specially in Nam. 100,000 of McNamara’s morons. Think Forrest Gump and Bubba.

[Dave22reborn]

Love how you have all of these individuals saying they would refuse the draft, are the same individuals who masked up, and got the jab.....
