Oh no!!! Better get them ham recruiters out to those high-schools and
colleges and uni-varsities..... gotta sign them up young ya know.....
can't have them becoming professionals until after they pass through
the amateur ranks!!!!

At first the law professors at the universities tried to stop campus
recruiting, but the Supreme Court told them that they took federal
dollars, so must allow fed recruiting.

Then the law professors decided to use freedom of speech to
anti-recruit on campuses, "Hell No, We Won't Go!".

Mark,

Who says "len" is not allowed to count the number of
current, unexpired amateur radio licenses held by
individuals?

Who says he can't post it here?

Not me.

Anyone who wants to can post the number of amateur
radio licenses. www.hamdata.com is one source,
but they include licenses that have expired but are
in the grace period.

www.AH0A.org is another source of license numbers,
including those of other countries.

I don't use either of those sources for the numbers I
post here.

Which law professors at which universities?

And for which war?

Was that not allowed? Must all citizens support all war efforts
supported by The President, regardless of their consciences,
and regardless of the facts?

They were allowed to serve "in other ways" such as Navy Corpsman.

The ones being interviewed on NPR, whining and crying and wringing
"thier" hands.

And for which war?

The recruitment of hams on High School and College campuses.
Everyone's upset about it.

anti-recruit on campuses, "Hell No, We Won't Go!".

Fortunately for you, those that served protect the freedoms of those
that seved in other ways, or say they served in other ways, or didn't
serve at all.

Jim was a US Navy Corpsman?

Doubt it.

What does anyone know about Jim? I'm going to guess that within
moments of turning 18, he was attending college in Canada.

Depends on who the "anyone" is. Some people know
a lot, others know less.

Your guess is way off. I've never attended college outside the
USA.

I don't know. Medical branches were one way for objectors to serve; another was
a religious chaplain or chaplain assistant.
