43. A is nonsense, being in college does not preclude you from enlisting
In fact it wouldn't even preclude you from a draft if one were instituted. Educational deferrments have been eliminated.

As to "B", I've heard the stories before, it seems like every time I get a youngster involved in a discussion like this, they all of a sudden become invalids. Of course, they only mention their disabilities AFTER you corner them on all other arguments.

Sorry if I sound callous for doubting any "disability" you may have, but I've seen this same pattern too many times to count, and I don't believe it anymore.
