For a guy his age, he would have had to do something about the draft in order to avoid serving in Vietnam. His biography is inadquate sans discussion of that issue, which was the number one issue for healthy male heterosexuals in that era — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.49.27.38 (talk) 17:11, 21 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
> A draft board examination immediately post-graduation found him 4-F on grounds of high blood pressure, limited vision, flat feet, and punctured eardrums. Eratticus 05:30, 24 August 2022 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Eratticus (talk • contribs)
IP 216, your comment absurdly implies that 100% of males at the time were drafted. Not all healthy males were drafted. so even if he hadn't been 4-F he may not have been drafted. Sundayclose (talk) 01:44, 30 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nobody familiar with that era, as I am, would think or imply that 100 percent of males were drafted. But 100 percent of healthy males were concerned about the issue, as I was in law school (out of which I was drafted in June 1968). It was the biggest war of our lifetimes and the number one issue of the era. By the way, I'm sorry to hear King had poor vision and punctured eardrums, neither of which sound like fun. 216.49.27.38 (talk) 22:50, 14 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
maybe?
In the call Stephen King said ""You can always find things about people to pull them down.
The article says that "While no longer religious, he says he chooses to believe in the existence of God". A tweet by SK seems to deny it, though: see. Mere irony, or something the article should care of? g (talk) 00:50, 30 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
SK does not say he is religious in the tweet, nor does he deny the existence of God, so your point is irrelevant, and without a reliable source that contradicts the article, the article doesn't need to "take care of" anything. In any event, it's not irony. It's satire. Sundayclose (talk) 01:07, 30 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
