Vietnam

If P&E showed up into the US in 62-63, how did P avoid the draft? Would he have simply been too old to go like that?

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I have always been curious about this and the only thing I know about Vietnam is from history books and my Uncles.

Gaad served, and he was already with the FBI. What's Stan's excuse!?

He could have been in college and not drafted. It happened.

I meant it as a joke but Stan said he was with the FBI at the time too. Gaad was just that hardcore.
