I know I'm preaching to the 'AMEN' section but for the benefit of the drive-by curious I thought should mention that if you were a Yankee and your son got drafted, you could hire a European immigrant to serve in his place ... with the Yankee gummint's blessing.

In fact that's how Joseph Pulitzer came to America. He signed on with a Yankee recruiter ... in Hamburg, Germany.
