I'm sure it was good for my father also. 100% Registering is one thing but exceptions pop up when it comes to serving. My husband did not have to serve in Vietnam because married with child and one on the way and had a younger eligible brother who served point in the jungle. Committed suicide at 26.

I am not sure the current set of 18 yr olds could even make it through boot camp. The military is more likely to be used if it has an unlimited number of expendables on board. Must be some other way to make men out of perpetual infants.
A point there about how much todays kids can take take. In my day even was seeing kids come up against. the word no for maybe the first time in their lives. Very traumatic. But the ones who survived that trauma came out better for it and those who did not were on the path for failure already. Until something better comes along we are stuck with a draft because however much we may not like it we are stuck with requiring a military and do not have much hope for a volunteer one based on available input today without there being in place a solid apparatus to turn the input into soldiers
