Conflict

It is interesting you title the conflict a war. On return it was pointed out to me that Congress did not declare so I was inelgible to join the veterans of foreign wars. To this day only males need to register for the draft. If you were A1 no would hire you for decent job. If female we're equally subject to the draft the would have ended much sooner.
