In Jim's defense, may I remind those of you that were not subject to the draft, you cannot understand the impact it had on your life's plans. Being drafted was a life altering experience to many. People got drafted, got married to avoid the draft, had children to avoid the draft, tried to get declared 4F to avoid the draft, went to Canada, etc.

When I came up they were drafting marrieds, students--the Marines were even drafting. Personally, I chose ROTC to avoid "the draft"--spent four years on active duty--saw Europe and that famous part of Asia, and have no regrets---BUT I understand Jim's point of view.
