Nope. Drafts suck. Anyone who says they don't either hasn't served before, is misinfo med or illinformed if they did serve and never really looked at what an ALL VOLUNTEER SERVICE does, or is just plain stupid.

Sorry to call you out on that, but it's true. Either you're a former draftee is who's still pissed your number got called up and want to share in that misery, or you've never served a day in your life.

I've spoken with tons of former draftees at th V.A. awaiting some kind of medical care related to their time in Korea or Vietnam. Most have said if they could go back in time and tell their younger selves what mistakes to avoid, it would be to tell them to haul ass to Canuckistan and dodge the draft. That all hate the fact they were drafted and ALL have some form of med issue related to their service. They were considered a more expendable "asset" because of the draft. The others have some sort of misguided view that because they were drafted, everyone else should enjoy in that misery. And for what, they ask? So that we would know what it feels like to be drafted and forced to do something we wouldn't want to do if we weren't forced to do it.

Sorry, but fuck that. Our military is stronger BECAUSE we aren't conscripted into what is essentially fighting slave force, like China or even Israel. We can walk away. Sure, it's not without consequence, but I've never met someone who went AWOL and was imprisoned or put to death for it since we ended the draft. And I've known more than a few that went UA or AWOL. All they got was Non Judicial Punishment and a quick ticket out with a Dishonorable Discharge. No jail time or death sentence for fleeing and evading for being essentially enslaved/indentured by/to the Fed Govt.
