            That's about right for the government.

            As I grow older I've found that pleasing everyone is impossible but pissing everyone off is a piece of cake.

                  There would have been quite a few of them born between those dates. Just send the letters to the local cemetery.

                    The confusion happened when the records of males born between 1993 and 1997 were swapped with ones born 100 years prior. The mix-up happened during an automated data transfer of roughly 400,000 records to the Selective Service

                    why were they looking to load information about people over 100 years of age? are they building Universal Soldier[^]Universal Solider?
