“The draft would bring in a bunch of dushbags who did not want to be there just like in the 60’s.”

My best friend was drafted, was killed in battle of Hue during Tet 68. I think of him from time to time..his name is Richard Ballantine, US Marines, Infantryman. He was 19. He is not a dushbag.

If you saw my other post I did not intend to lump all draftees into on pile and I apologized for that, the statement should of said that some of the draftees were dushbags who did not do what was right and give their all. I did not mean to say that all draftees were d-bags.
