Why is there no history of military service in any of his biographies? It was still mandatory when he was in his twenties.

You're just wrong about it being mandatory. Problem solved.

Im just going by whatever blurbs and interviews I find on the internet. His Paris review interview is the best written one and any spoken one with michael silverblatt.

The draft was around then, even in peacetime. But he might have never been called or was in school or whatever.

because if they told you...

Does anyone believe that Pynchon just randomly did a stint in the navy in between Cornell studies, because he felt like it? Cause he wanted to be like Ishmael? lol...
