2. I come from a long line of Navy sailors

And in 1974, after the draft was "over", I was named to the Naval Academy... and was set to go in the fall... right up until the car drove up to our house with the chaplain and a Navy Commander... to tell my parents that my brother (Lt jg) was killed.

So... no Navy Academy...

But my father was an enlisted Naval Aviator (silver eagle)... and served on a destroyer in WWII in addition to becoming a Naval Aviator.

The draft dodger in chief can shove his tweets up his asshole.
