I also agree with Roxie...you had to live through that era to really feel what was going on. Do viewers realize the significance of 11:58 pm? If Nick were born two minutes later at midnight his birthday would of been October 19 on his grandfather's birthday that his draft number would of been 241 and not likely to go to war but since he was born on October 18 at 11:58 pm his draft number was 005 and was drafted to the war. If he was born 2 minutes later the whole war thing would not have occurred. Also they could not use the date that Vietnam episode aired as his birthday because the airing date was October 16 and the daft number for that birth date was 254 too high of a number to be drafted.
