My Draft number was something like 35 back then. I messed up and did well enough on the testing to go into Officer Training for like 6 weeks I think it would have been, and then been dropped into the Front.

Rumor was that more new Lieutenants were killed by their own men more often than by the Viet Cong; otherwise they would have been killed themselves because of a know-nothing new Officer... don't know if that was true, but I didn't want to find out.

Fortunately, I had an ulnar nerve problem and they weren't sure I could hold a rifle up long enough to use it. They gave me a 6 mo Deferment, and I went to college.

Then, they apparently forgot about me... and I certainly didn't call them. I was a Muhammed Ali liberal back then.

One supposes that non-US children don't count in TrumpWorld... especially when it was SO important to get Billionaires their tax cut bribe payments rather than wait a bit for other nations to make up the difference.

And US children?

"Firearm-related injuries are the leading cause of death for children and adolescents (ages 1"19) in the U.S. as of 2020, surpassing motor vehicle crashes."
