All Men Fear Me
“—President Wilson on the Selective Service Act, 1917 Once the war started, most of the young men in Boynton were full of fire and ready to join up and kill the Bosch. And if some weren’t, they generally kept their mouths shut about it. Trenton Calder, beloved of Ruth Tucker and deputy to Scott Tucker, was as hot-blooded about the war as the next young man. But with every able-bodied male in town rushing off to sign up, Scott had asked Trent if he would wait a few months to enlist, just until he... could get someone to take the deputy’s place who was too old or too married to serve in the armed forces. Trent wasn’t optimistic that his boss would find someone who’d do it for what the town was willing to pay, not somebody with any brains, anyway. But Scott had been so good to him over the years that he said he’d wait until after the draft lottery. In the end, both men knew that if Trent’s number did not come up, he would be off to Muskogee to join up before the next week was out.MoreLess
