BO Suddenly Remembers: He
Almost Joined the Military!
He’s never mentioned it before, not even in two autobiographies, but Barack Obama has suddenly remembered that he
considered joining the military.
Obama disclosed that he had once considered serving in the military.
“You know, I actually did,” Obama said. “I had to sign up for Selective Service when I graduated from high school. And I was growing up in Hawaii. And I have friends whose parents were in the military. There are a lot of Army, military bases there.
“And I actually always thought of the military as an ennobling and, you know, honorable option. But keep in mind that I graduated in 1979. The Vietnam War had come to an end. We weren’t engaged in an active military conflict at that point. And so, it’s not an option that I ever decided to pursue.”
Just one problem with Obama’s little story.
Registration for selective service was not reinstated until 1980.
