75 % of those who fought in Vietnam were volunteers, not draftees. I agree that any war we fight should be declared and fought to win. I am not, however, a Milton Friedman in my view of the draft.
“75 % of those who fought in Vietnam were volunteers, not draftees. I agree that any war we fight should be declared and fought to win. I am not, however, a Milton Friedman in my view of the draft.”
You need to provide support for that claim.
Do you think less of a draftee who served/died in Vietnam for his country?
I have a friend that was drafted, and retired 37 years later as a Lt. General in combat arms (3 star).
If even one guy involved in Nam was a draftee, the entire theory of the thing is invalidated. Where is the logic of sending an American slave army or even an American army in which 25% of the soldiers are slaves, to fight for somebody else's freedom??
