Drafted 19 year olds didn't have a choice about going to
Vietnam, other than refuse and go to jail or run to Canada.
Just that simple. Draftees were trained to kill and defend
themselves. If sent to Vietnam, they might not want to
kill the enemy but when they started trying to kill you,
you would learn fast. Fight or die. Kill or be killed.
Sadly, many of the survivors of Vietnam came home to
not a hero's welcome but the protests from the hippies
calling them baby killers, etc.
So unfair of you to talk in hindsight. <spit>
