Ruptured Duck=Purple Heart???

[Paul Mackin]

Glad Bob put a grin at the end of that deferment stuff.

Virtually nobody wrangled deferments. The wrangling was done to
GET IN.  Not least of all by those near-sighted academics. It was an
event simply not to be missed.

More eye charts were ordered from medical supply houses
in the years 1940-1945 than in all the rest of American history combined.

Look it up.

But seriously . . . I'm probably talking more myth than reality.

But what a myth.

Jeez. I would've thought that a bunch of Pynchon/GR fans would have had a
somewhat better grounding in "The Big One". Is it possible you're all
hereditary academics and had parents and grandparents that wangled
deferments? <g>.
