You must have had a different kind of draft board than mine.

Old Violet Boggs of #112 in Clearwater Florida didn't let anybody slip by that I know of. Th only way out was to enlist.

I have two brothers, one born in 48 the other born two years later..... Neither one of them were drafted.
They were lucky.... Their number never came up.

It was a lottery type system. Not all the numbers were called in any given year.

That lottery didn't go into effect until Jan. 1970.

I drew a 273 which was supposedly a good number.

But I was drafted on Nov. 3, 1969, so fuck me.

But whatever, Masaad could have enlisted. If he's such a bad assed motherfucker like Zeke says he is, surely he would have wanted to fight for his country.

You know ever since Ike mentioned that your Myers Brigg type is one that needs to feel he's one up on everybody else I've been casually observing you Zeke.

And I have to say it's been amusing to watch the extent that you will resort to to feed your need.

No amount of bragging, embellishing, blovating and outright lying is too much for you. You gotta feed that monkey on your back. You can't help yourself.

You have no fucking idea what you're talking about this time Zeke. It's a moving car, the length of a football field away. An expert can zero a scope in maybe 30 seconds. Oswald didn't have 30 fucking seconds. So he had to leave the scope alone and ballpark his adjustments. Oswald barely qualified in 1959 so he must have done some serious practice to put the second round a few inches from Kennedy's neck and the third in the back of his head.

Damned near anyone couldn't have come close.

You've obviously never seen Zeke shoot.

Can't remember the name of it, but recently watched a very good, well produced documentary (no tin foil hats or foaming at the mouth) that laid out the evidence an errant shot from Kennedy's S. Service detail killed him.

Very step by step, factual, and pretty convincing.

88 yards using a 6.5 mm Mannlicher-Carcano with a 4X scope against a head sized target moving at 11 mph.

CAKE.

Bones did an episode on the Kennedy assassination about the shooting. The show can be sloppy with facts but this one wasn't bad.
