        As a mom of teenage boys, I'm terrified by Trump and his blasé attitude towards war.

        And yet, the coward in the White House dodged the draft Five times because he had an owie on his foot.

        I can think of no more joyous duty to have in Nam than sending guys back home, alive.

        If we had a draft today we would have been out of Afghanistan a decade ago.

        I was drafted in 1966 and opted to join the USAF instead even though it meant committing to 4 years vice 2. I ended up staying for nearly 7.

        Great piece of writing - very atmospheric. There is no glory in war of any kind. Nobody wants to go to war unless they are deranged

        Use of War Powers should trigger instant draft. Comprehensive in scope, men & women, rich & poor, powerful & disenfranchised, no exceptions!
