What is Edward's military/draft record? |
|
He didn't have connections so what happened, did he just luck into a high number?

2. He lucked out by being about a year too young, and had a draft number of |

3. If one does the math....he was eligible. |
|
The draft ended in 1973 with the end of the Viet Nam War. Edwards is 50-51. he probably graduated in 1971.....He was old enought....

He could've been drafted but his number didn't come up before they ended the draft.

that year was drafted; several the year before and older were. Things were winding down. So that is why I say it is a combination of year and draft number.
