I did, and my number was 10. I was drafted into the army and my whole life changed. All of us who went to basic training feared that we would be sent to Vietnam. We were pretty sure that was going to happen, and it scared the hell out of us. If you haven't been there, you don't know what it's like. The fear of dying in some strange land is not what I would want to see anyone go through. I was lucky, I was sent to Germany, but a lot of those young men that went through basic with me were not so lucky. They ended up in Vietnam, and some did not return.
I say no to the draft, and if you really think the kids of the 1% would ever go to war, you are sadly mistaken, because one way or another they will get out of it, they did it before and they will again.
