DUmmy is apparently trying to make a point about being a good American. But there is a slight problem. The last draft call was on December 7, 1972, and authority to induct expired July 1, 1973. There were lottery draws in 1973-1975, and they were used to require some men to report for physicals, but that ended in January 1976. Also, registration with the Selective Service System was suspended on April 1, 1975. So, his "true story" is not just your typical highly questionable grocery store bouncy but is demonstratively a complete and utter fabrication. His lie is so bad that even other DUmmies call it out.

3. The draft ended
in January, 1973.
Perhaps the closest H2O Man has come to being correct. And he did it without typing out a 5000-word essay and without mentioning Rubin Carter. But AllaN01Bear can explain the discrepancy:
