I found it very inconvenient and harmful to my future educational and career plans to be conscripted "after high school" or "when undergraduate work is completed". Now that I am retired, more politically aware, and in reasonably good health, I could stand a break from garden work and the tedium of the reloader. Let's say 1967 didn't work but 2007 would be fine with me. I enjoyed it then and I would enjoy it now. In 1967, I didn't understand sustained lead. I was a "pass through" shooter. I would be a better soldier today.
