Message: A good website and I used it to look up details of the draft and especially the lottery system. Along with three brothers and a sister, we served a total of 38 years in the USN (1952 - 1955 were active duty years for me) and USAF between 1951 and 1980. We felt it was our duty to carry on what our uncles and cousins had done in WWI and WWII. My family and I have been disappointed by the numbers of young people who have chosen not to serve. The lottery system put paid to the draft because the privileged could no longer use their influence to get their sons out of the draft. Prior to that, the laws had been carefully crafted to allow the privileged to go to university, get married and start a family and dodge the draft. Those of us who went because we felt it was the right thing to do for our country lost several years in starting our careers and in many cases were never were able to catch up to the draft dodgers. We were compensated by knowing that we had not put ourselves ahead of country and duty and by the many friends we made and the many things we learned. If we had a draft today, it would provide a chance for the rich to mix with the average American.
