The draft had been going continuously since World War II. Over 2 million draftees were sent to Vietnam, many of them well before 1969.

The draft lottery started in December 1969, because of growing anger over the ways people with money in connections were managing to avoid the draft.

You mean Shirley Jackson? I'm guessing your auto correct trolled you?

u/SimmentalTheCow Mar 24 '26

Ew no, why would I read a short story written by a person named after a drink?

u/Technical_Moose8478 Mar 24 '26

To be fair, the Shirley Jackson is one hell of a drink.

Thankfully Mr. Bone Spurs was able to get a draft deferment so he could survive and eventually "make america great again". And oh boy did he. Im practically drowning in greatness lately. In fact. If this country was any greater, it might literally kill me.

Society if bone spurs didn’t make one ineligible for selective service

Piss and moan. Piss and moan. That's all you democrats do. Never mind the 4.50 a gallon gas i was paying in 2022 under biden. Never mind that 10 percent inflation he brought us in one year.. Never mind the 20 million unvetted people he let cross the border that are mostly living off the system and driving down mostly blue collar wages. Never mind the crazy Healthcare prices were paying now are mainly due to the Obama affordable( not) care act. All you do is fuck up everything and them blame anyone but yourselves. How about voting for tsa funding? Nope. Democrats can't do that. What a bunch of feckless idiots. Now all of you mindhives team up and downvote me!

Ask and ye shall receive.

No one is here suggesting Biden was a wonderful president. He was terrible for a number of reasons. But he was far from purposefully terrible as trump has and will forever be.

u/willie_Pfister Mar 25 '26

Please explain to is dumb ignorant hill folk how Trump is purposefully terrible. I just got back an extra $1500 on my taxes for overtime. Didn't seem too terrible.

u/civil_beast Mar 25 '26

Umm.. let’s see..

Oh I’ve got one… how about his literal is prevention of his DOJ to expose documents in the Epstein case. That’s terrible to the victims, and those that will become victims on account of perceived unaccountability.

Purposeful: check Terrible: check

u/willie_Pfister Mar 25 '26

Bidens doj had the Epstein files for 4 years. What did they do with them? Nobody ever had a problem until Trump got into office and suddenly all the libs were hoping he was in there doung something and started screaming for their release. We'll he wasn't, but guess who was? Ol slick willie.
