Slavery would mean he didn’t get paid. He got paid for his service therefore it’s not slavery not by the definition of that word. And based on the fact that when you were drafted most are four years, he must have a reenlisted at least a couple of times unless of course somebody forgot to send him his paperwork can happen. My father had that happened to him when he was in Korea briefly and because he has a French name , and they thought that Jean was a woman’s name, forgetting that some people have that French name which means John, so for brief, while my father was still in the military because they sent the letter to the women’s auxiliary core until somebody from there realize they got it wrong and sent it back and well the rest is history… but there’s a lot about his story that is shall we say not a parent and what they are telling… in other words there’s more to this than meets the eye.
