When I was of draft age, i got my notice. I hated the draft. However, I was quick to notice during basic training the positive transformation among our group. Fat guys slimmed down, skinny guys bulked up and everyone developed a positive attitude and an obvious degree of patriotism, including me. It's almost as if today the term "young patriot" is an oxymoron. I believe eliminating the draft was a huge mistake and the r5ising crime and lack of direction in our younger set is the result of such.
