He was too young to be drafted.

Never heard anything about him dodging the draft. I tried googling but can't find anything. Care to enlighten me? How did he dodge the draft?

Vietnam was a shitshow. Hard for me to blame people for staying the hell away.

Why was he not eligible by 1973? He was 21 years old

Actuallee OP, Saban was denied entry to the service since he was deemed too short for service.

Did you know that if you attended college, you didn't get drafted?

Inconceivable!

I thought that might be it. I honestly didn't know for sure if that was true -- fortunately for me, there has not been a draft in my lifetime.

Vietnam War draft only drafted men born between 1944 and 1950. Saban was born in 1951

Not true. You could be drafted if you were in college but you could apply for a deferment.
