Once again, very few people were drafted. Here are some stats that in
many ways conflict with the pro-military bull**** you and others post he

During the Vietnam War era, between 1964 and 1973, the U.S. military
drafted 2.2 million American men out of an eligible pool of 27 million.
Although only 25 percent of the military force in the combat zones were
draftees, the system of conscription caused many young American men to
volunteer for the armed forces in order to have more of a choice of
which division in the military they would serve. While many soldiers did
support the war, at least initially, to others the draft seemed like a
death sentence: being sent to a war and fight for a cause that they did
not believe in.

Less than 10% of the availble pool of 27 million were drafted. Got that?

ooks like you conveniently left out the rest of your cut n paste, Harry. Looks like you and Bill Clinton and Dick Cheaneyhid in college maybe?

“. Some sought refuge in college or parental deferments; others intentionally failed aptitude tests or otherwise evaded; thousands fled to Canada; the politically connected sought refuge in the National Guard; and a growing number engaged in direct resistance. Antiwar activists viewed the draft as immoral and the only means for the government to continue the war with fresh soldiers. Ironically, as the draft continued to fuel the war effort, it also intensified the antiwar cause. Although the Selective Service’s deferment system meant that men of lower socioeconomic standing were most likely to be sent to the front lines, no one was completely safe from the draft. Almost every American was either eligible to go to war or knew someone who was.”

So like Harry to quote only part of an article.
