You guys tell me. I'm embarrassed to admit that, after all of these years of very involved fandom, I don't know, and haven't bothered to check, whether Tucson was on the T2k nuclear target list!

I was at the University of Arizona (Tucson) from '93-'98. Would there have been a college deferment in the draft? Would it have been dropped before the TDM?

I've been fascinated by war since I was a kid, but I'm not sure I would have volunteered (I didn't after 9-11, even though I was in my mid-20s at the time).

So, I either get drafted and probably get KIA/WIA/POW or I stay in school and, if Tucson is nuked, I'm dead. If Tucson isn't nuked, I probably wouldn't survive long in the desert without power or reliable safe drinking water.
