Selective Service Classified 2D
Most older people will remember the "Draft" or US Government
Selective Service System......Watch any early 1940's movie
and you will hear, "I'm 1A" or even, "Sorry, kid but you are
4F"....
But the range of classifications was boundless.....If you joined
a religious order, with desires to become a priest or religous
teach, you were classified as 2D......I once asked what 2D meant?..
I was told, " It means you fight when the enemy is on the roof"...
It seems that Americans today, religious or not, fit into this
'classification'......It seems that the 'complaisant American' is
continent as long as something does not bother him/her as an
individual.....
With the exception of those who join any military service,
the remaining ones will only get involved when "The enemy
is on the roof".......Let's face it they have other more important
things to worry about.......Pumps
