    I would not have wanted to take my chances of being one of the 1/12. They not have had to worry once it was all over, but while it was happening a lot of people were at risk of being sent to die in a foreign land.

      Oh yeah I get what you’re saying, and I’d agree cause I’m sure I’d have been picked (Although I guess we could probably look at the records and see if we would have been drafted based on our birthdays). It still doesn’t change the fact the economy was way better for everyone though.
