Thank you for your evaluation.

If you had, um, "connections" and some dad did not want their son to go to war, they would "get" some local official to do some paperwork and the son would get a "$1 a year" assignment. They would do a fair amouunt of mostly easy work, like showing war bond films to moms and workers, or driving generals from the airport, and not get drafted. They were paid $1 per year. My aunt still has the check in a frame with a commendation from some elected official thanking my uncle for his service.If Bush had been in WWII, he would have doen $1 a year instead of not showing up for NG.
It was a "legal" way to get kids out of the war. Almost everyone who did it has ind means, as it did not allow another job and only paid $1 per year.
Thank you for the complete answer!
It shows only that the same rule apply everywhere...
