"Frankly, everybody I've known who was drafted has regarded it as a positive experience, no matter how much they hated it at the time."
Except the dead ones, of course.
Having served three tours of V/nam I can honestly say that rich kids and people of a particular religion were very under-represented on the front lines. Obviously the draft didn't work to assure social equality then.
I gather that the wealthy and others of privilege managed to send their kids to University or Canada.
The underprivileged and the true (not economic) patriots will always do the dying for their country and those that return are treated with contempt by those for whom they suffered.
