I am a 12 year veteran, and have siblings and family going back many generations who were in the military. Same on my wife’s side. Any country worth fighting for will not need a draft. Any military worth serving in will not need a draft. Any war worth fighting will not require a draft.
This progressive new military and the traitors on both sides of the aisle can gin up and execute their wars without my kids and any other kids who I can convince to dodge any draft that comes down. Let the pillow biters and Christian haters go get killed for the Progressive National Socialist cause.
I vow right now that I will hide, give shelter and support to anyone who evades a coming draft based on an understanding of the tyranny that has come to our country.

The draft and historical amnesia
VFW Magazine, March, 2003

“No 20th century war could have been waged, much less won, without draftees. During WWI, 72% of servicemen were drafted—50% of the men in France’s trenches were conscripted.

In WWII, 66% of all U.S. forces were drafted. Of the 10.5 million Army personnel, a whopping 93% were draftees. A poll taken in 1941 showed that just more than half of Americans would be willingly drafted for overseas service.

From 1946 to 1973, 5,077,185 men were drafted. During the Korean War era, 30% of total troops were drafted. In December 1950, 82% of the Army in Korea was made up of regulars. Exactly two years later, the ratio was 37% regular to 63% draftee in the war zone.

During the Vietnam era, 1,728,344 men were drafted. Of the forces who actually served in Vietnam, 648,500 (25%) were draftees. Draftees (17,725) accounted for 30.4% of combat deaths in Vietnam.”

Let me guess, you got your draft notice back in 1969 and moved to Canada..........I think I met your daughter at the Detroit Metro airport baggage claim back in march of 2003. She was from Vancouver, BC, and bragged about how you and your wife moved to BC after you got your draft notice.....I found it ironic how you chose to remain in Canada all these years and still had the guts to enroll your daughter into Ohio State......
