The draft served a very good purpose in that it tore high school graduates away from mommy and daddy and showed them there was a world out there!

Once you are in the military you find you would rather be back with your military pals than home where everyone thinks you are still just a kid.

Three days leave is about all I could stand of a two week leave. I always felt more “free” back on the base.

People in the military because they desire to defend their country don’t need to be saddled with whiny and often drug addicted draftees.

End of story.
