I would consider that a righteous Darwinian outcome: any rotten government which has lost the loyalty of the citizenry deserves to fall; even though the people must suffer until the situation is righted, it is a better outcome than the Elite sending better men than themselves out to die...
Funny how the "Patriots" out there hate all "draft dodgers", and cite World War Two as a time when all Good Men allowed themselves to become subordinated to a Great Cause and "freedom" triumphed...hey, folks, you don't know your own history! (you watched too many ball games on TV instead, I think). Sorry, but the general citizenry in the pre-war years was highly opposed to the US entering the war; this has since been forgotten, OF COURSE, after Hollywood unleashed its relentless propoganda campaign, and if you dissented from the crowd you were a traitor. Let's remember, now, that Hollywood was/is overwhelmingly leftist(communist in fact) and the enemy was rightist. So, after eight million supposedly free men gave up their freedom (and served under a largely incompetent and unprofessional Officer Corps, who were largely drawn from the upper classes), OF COURSE they all became Heroes, the enemy were all Villians, and our cause was right, blah blah blah...
The BOTTOM LINE here is that a draftee has given up the Greatest Gift, FREE WILL. After all, aren't we told: "By their fruit shall ye judge them"? How can a man who does not make his own descisions be judged, becasuse now the State (and those who own stock in munitions corporations!) calls the shots...but let's face it, many men perfer that dominated and restricted existance, because it frees them from the burdens of Personal Responsibility...so, how could any "free men" band together and win a war?
REMEMBER THE MEN OF 1776! Our Independance was won by free men who volunteered themselves for a definite and worthy goal...Today, we have a Mercenary military, with no clear reson to exist, unless you like the idea of being a member of a Global Police Force to be used by the Political Elite to enforce hidden agendas...
So the poimt I am trying to make here is that those of you who automatically condemn "draft dodgers", are without a full grasp of all the issues involved: history,human nature,the current political/social power structure...some of you will continue with reactionary dogma and to regurgitate deep-learned Hollywood propaganda, but that's OK, I expect nothing more from such "patriots"...the thoughtful response, even if negative, will be appreciated by all, so here goes:
Should a "good citizen" allow himself to be drafted to fight in a bad war?
