You are right that it is an all volunteer armed forces today. My husband's father was also drafted to serve in Vietnam. However, when my husband joined the Army we were not prepared for what 9/11 had in store for our Armed Forces (He graduated from Advanced Individual Training(AIT) on 9/11/01). If my husband were scared he would not have re-enlisted while he was in Iraq! I don't think that any human being enjoys being shot at. So even if they did volunteer it is no fun where they are! The enemies that they currently are fighting are some of the most intelligent and highly trained enemies that exsist in this world today!

Even though you were drafted, Jim, I appreciate the fact that you did not dodge it like so many others did. If it were not for you and people like you I probably would not have the freedoms that I have today. So I thank you for that.
