Dear Leferd, I have good news for you!

I was quoting Starship Troopers but there are programs to get citizenship through the military.

 

Aren't there programs like that in most countries though? The US wouldn't be the only one with such programs.

There was no draft when Johnson was of an age to be drafted. He was in his 30's when WWII started.

 

You are mistaken.

... and some will still say that the U.S. was a peace loving nation who only got into WW2 because it was attacked unprovoked by the Japanese Empire, and that the attack was even a surprise.

Also, Johnson was in the military.

 

 

I didn't know the cutoff was 40 in those days. Johnson would have been 32 in 1940 so he would have been on the hook. But it was moot because you are also correct he was in the USNR. So, I stand corrected... twice. That's what happens when you go off memory rather than looking things up.

The correct response is to double down and call your opponents names while insinuating dishonesty or something embarrassing.
