The draft has nothing to do with military service, except to snag those who won’t enlist. A man who wants to serve his country just serves, he doesn’t wail that he wasn’t “drafted”.
A man who can physically enlist, and won’t, well, that’s not a good thing.

That’s rather a lot to do with it.

Yes, well, I haven’t heard Romney wail about anything of the sort. This is only an issue because he’s being accused of dodging.

I’ve never gone through whatever process determines you to be physically fit, but generally I am. I never enlisted, though there was a massive attack on the homeland in my 19th year. There’s nothing whatsoever bad about not serving in the military. We are not Isreal, nor Sparta, nor Prussia. We can’t infer anything whatsoever about a man who declines to serve.
