As usual, your comments only present partial truth.

Regarding the high percentage of draftees in WWII ... I suggest that you should read Executive Order 9279, signed by President Roosevelt on 05DEC42. Try what this order was about and most particularly WHY this order was issued. Try to understand both what it mandated and what it prohibited.

Regarding the war dead ... Cite your sources, please.

Your final comment is inane, and completely ignores the 1980s and 1990s.

Do you even have a point in any of your comments? On the one hand, you praise the current military from Viet Nam to Afghanistan for volunteering, then you turn around and trash-talk about 'dismal enlistment enthusiasm'. Make up your mind. Your comments on the draft in WWII are simply ignorant.

So you felt the need to launch a personal attack, and a rather strange one at that, I guess I dared disagree with you on some other thread in the past perhaps.

The rest of your post was gibberish and confusing.

I am baffled at your obvious anger, though.
