Putting it in context, it's probably right. There are a lot of different swathes/classes of boomer, and the ones that would be able to do the listed in lines 7-10 are probably not the ones that were targeted for conscription in vietnam.

    It's Korea that typically gets ignored in the US. In fact, that war does fall under the time-frame we're looking at and wikipedia says about 1.5 million were drafted for it.
