Every MALE who graduated in 1964 was DRAFTED unless he had a deferment
in hand the day he graduated. This usually kept the rich kids out of
the trenches, you know, like John Kerry, GW, the rich kids.

So, I knew there was a file with my name on it....no money, no papers.
I had been talking to Signalman Master Chief Ralph W Ince, USN, a rather
short Cherokee Indian from the Auburn, NY, Navy recruiting office.
Chief Ince saved hundreds of boys from being killed during his
assignment because he got us in the Navy and away from those fox holes.

I had been draggin' my feet trying not to go anywhere. I had a nice job
at the Rexall Drug Store, family and friends and a whole town where
everyone pretty much loved everyone else.

Well, it was a Thursday and I was home with my mother, father at work
making Smith-Corona Sterling typewriters in a sweatshop in Groton, NY,
two towns south of Moravia. The phone rang and my mother called me to
it. "Butler, do you want to come in the Navy, today?"....hemmed and
hawed about 30 seconds and Chief Ince dropped the bomb. "Well, this
will be my last call....." I asked him if he'd given up on me. "No,
but they mailed your draft notice about 8AM this morning. If I don't
get you out of there AND SWORN IN before that postman special delivers
your notice, you'll be in the Army and out of my reach." Within 30
minutes, Chief Ince was in the Navy's van at my door with 4 other
draftees he was trying to save. I bid my mother farewell after putting
on some rather old clothes, as instructed, and off we shot away from
there towards the Navy induction station in Syracuse, directly, as I was
the last pickup on Thursday.

When we got there, they took us into this large room and IMMEDIATELY
swore us into the Navy, almost before we had all gotten into the room!
After we were officially sworn in, they took the time to find out if
they wanted to keep us, which they did, so when the postman got to my
mother's home, she told him I had already joined the Navy that very day.
Mr Valentine, our postman, smiled and said that was 3 in the Navy and 5
in the Air Force since he started delivering the notices that
day....only two got drafted before he got to my house, but there were
others still in his bag.....one of them my buddy, Mike, who was killed
about a year later in the Vietnamese mountains by machine gun fire....

Not ill-conceived at all! The Illuminati Bankers know exactly what
they're doing. Just like Vietnam, they have found a SUSTAINABLE war so
they can keep loaning the US Government more and more money, AT
INTEREST, to run the war machine which keeps all of them very rich. The
Bankers from the interest,the politicians from the bribes and kickbacks
and the War contractors from the constant stream of replacement parts
and new equipment and new methods of mass murder ordered by the bribed
politicians. It all feeds very well on itself......and, DEPOPULATES a
good portion of the world of us lower classes in the process with noone
trying to kill the overlords, themselves.

"The New World Order".....constant war, depopulation, devaluation...

On topic -

I met a kid at Circuit City with a cracked and loaded iPhone. It
actually had some apps in it, but he was out of memory on two apps that
were a little too grandiose for a device with only 76MB of user memory.
