I'm not going to try to work through who said what and for what reason,
but would like to point out that at least two people think that the
draft was good.

My sister and I were discussing "our era" draft recently. She's a
retired Commander and my sign-off hints at my pay grade. We came from a
navy background and joined during the 1950s.
We grew up in a uppr-class bedroom suburb of Boston and it's unlikely
that we would have been exposed so closely to the American mixture of
races, religions, national backgrounds, etc had the draft not been in
effect during our time.
We both feel that we gained from this long-term exposure. Everyone is
an individual and we know enough not to think that we "know" their
thoughts or likely actions because of their ethnic background.

You can argue about what, if any, gain or loss the forces had from the
draft (I think it did), but it is damn certain that the nation, as a
whole, did gain.

What illogic? Are you trying to say that the Vietnam draft had a
good effect on the US? When a Repubnazi accuses someone of
something, like lack of knowledge, it is invariably a description
of himself.
