[Evans, Marv]

I would really like to see a return of the draft. It's only my opinion, but I think it served a lot of good as far as the general population is concerned. It provided learning opportunities, vocational opportunities, got people out of neighborhoods and situations they would have been stuck in, & lots of other things too numerous to list. It also served the purpose of making a portion of the general population able to relate to military service. Another thing it did was infuse the military with people from different cultural, educational, business, and work (or non work) backgrounds even though when we had the draft, the military didn't attempt to try taking advantage of them. Even though people grumbled about having to go, I don't think too many considered it a negative experience afterwards.
