From the Infallible Genocide-

After graduating with a bachelor of fine arts in film in 1967, he tried joining the United States Air Force as an officer, but he was immediately turned down because of his numerous speeding tickets. He was later drafted by the Army for military service in Vietnam, but he was exempt from the draft after medical tests showed he had diabetes, the disease that killed his paternal grandfather.

If Lucas had been in Vietnam, either voluntarily in the air force or drafted as a soldier, had survived and had gone back to filmmaking when he returned to the USA, how might the nature of his films been different?

(Note, due to butterflies we're not just talking minor modifications to Star Wars or whatever, his filmmaking career would be totally different but presumably drawing upon similar themes).
