I was drafted. I went through the physical and I told the doctor that I wouldn't kill anyone . If they wanted me as a medic, I would do that. The doctor looked at the resume of the 25 year old and said they would call me back in a year. I took the IQ test before I left. The soldier giving the test asked me how old I was. Told him 25. He, who was 26 , said I wouldn't be called. (I was not called). Two years later, I went to law school. Interesting enough Temple University was founded by a heavy drinking civil war officer named Russell Conwell who changed his life when his aide, Johnny Ring, died in battle.
My cousin Marty , a boy who graduated early from Philadelphia's Roman Catholic HS, because he graduated early to join the marines, came back from the Pacific with nothing to say. When his father died he inherited his father's bar and his mistress. He showed up at funerals. Never talked. My neighbor next door in Upper Darby lived with his Korean secret. Killed 300 Chinese soldiers in one night. A young man who lost his job through drinking was sent to my office by legal aid. His wife left him. I asked when he started drinking. Answer- after he killed fellow Americans because He was given wrong coordinates on the MeKong River. I sent him to Carron/ an alcoholic rehab facility.
