For all the people I know or know of who avoided the draft exactly ONE got out in a traditionally honorable way: i.e., Conscientious Objector. And though I believe he really was a CO he didn't write the paper that the Draft Board accepted; his bright girlfriend did.The others got out through marriage, high draft numbers, 4F, managing to time their school work to be exempt until the draft ended; one even went into teaching after his bachelor's, then quite when he turned 26. Not a single one actually resisted; i.e., stood up and said "no." |
