[QUOTE="Martie, post: 86795, member: 284"] LOL--This will let you know approximately how old I am... I thought the choices of the draft or jail--the third choice was Canada--referred to those conscientious objectors who could not qualify as such, but would not fight in Viet Nam. Of course, there were other ways to avoid serve in Nam, which fell disproportionately on poor white rural and inner city young men. Between college deferments and the National Guard, there were many ways... The last draft controlled the lives of a generation of young men--one way or the other, not matter what they chose. I do not thin the current armed forces are suitable for a draft, without regard to any political considerations. It's a different world and hence, a different army. Martie [/QUOTE]
