“When the person got their “draft” notice they would have the choice of Military Service of some type of In Service to America program.”
LOL, well, I listed the Peace Corp as one of my examples of a draft deferment that should not be allowed if the draft should be activated. The Peace Corp was indeed a refuge for the left during the Vietnam War. That’s why I stated “no exemptions other than for physical or mental problems”. Peace brother, I’m old and you’re wearing me out :)
Old? Who’s old?
I tried to enlist when I was 18 but was told I had to turn in my draft card. I told them I didn’t want to be drafted I wanted to enlist. They said if I wanted to enlist I needed to turn in my draft card - and the post office was around the corner and two blocks down.
So down I went and back - all to turn it in. Must have had it all of ten minutes.
But to sum it all up - If the left is for it, it must be a bad idea. That’s really the only place there is talk of this issue.
