not true, i was in college during the Vietnam war and i was not on any draft board. I joined in 1968 and went to Vietnam in 69 and 70.

You most certainly could be drafted from college during the Vietnam war. College got you out up to 1965, after that only those performing well in school got passed over.

Having said that, thank you for what you did. My father did the same thing. He was in college, married with a child (me) and another on the way when he left school to enlist. He was in country when my sister was born in April 1969. You guys are real American heroes.

Anyhow, in regards to the OP’s troll attempt, Saban would have first been draft eligible in 1971 but the odds of him getting inducted were very low. Only 94,000 draftees were inducted that year (down from an average of about 250,000 each year 65-69). Less than 50,000 were inducted the next year (72) and Nixon decreed no draftees wold be sent to Vietnam.

So, OP is a lying idiot.
