RE: Wrong
“The bottom line for the draft in any of it’s forms is, “involuntary servitude”. I think the military has realized that an army of slaves takes a lot more training, management, and resources than a volunteer army.” — Son
Having enlisted DURING the draft, serving in it, getting out, getting a commission, going back in, and serving in it after the draft was gone….
….you’re wrong.
The drafted men I served with as an enlisted infantryman, were probably smarter, on average, than the regular enlistee. Why? Because a goodly number of them had completed high school or had some college.
Hope that helps….
