Well I'm sure many people remember it and had brothers, sons and cousins going off to fight a war they wanted no part of. Many went because it was their duty and never came home. Or they came home so messed up on agent orange that they later took their own lives. Yea I remember the draft all right and that war. I remember the crying mothers whose son's numbers came up and the ones who sighed with relief when their sons didn't. I also remember the funerals too. So next time you comment on me get the whole thing in would you? Don't leave out what I had to say and print part of it. It went like this.......
I think the draft is a bad idea because I remember it. All too well I remember the college riots and I was only like 9 or 10 yrs old. I think forcing the military on someone doesn't make for a good soldier but then I've never had to serve. I do remember parents ready to send their sons to Canada though.

All I can say is the draft has been held constitutional.
