WRONG AGAIN.
When I was subject to the draft, the college student deferral had already ended and I’d have been taken immediately after high school ended in June. NO time to join ROTC in college.
Furthermore, I knew many former ROTC members who went to Viet Nam as officers, a number were killed there, ROTC was no guaranty of a cushy job at the Pentagon.
I don’t have a BA degree…so the government would not have paid for it! I have B.Sc., M.B.A. and J.D. degrees.
I did not compare 2017 USA and Tsarist Russia (which ceased to exist 100 years ago. I compared a mandatory draft in 1960/70s USA and the Tsar’s draft. Other posters mentioned the Israeli Draft.
Your comparison to a murderer bribing a judge is simply twisted logic and no such words came out of my mouth or fingers.
I specifically posted that the donation to the Doctor’s hospital construction project was approved my my Rav in my circumstances at a specific time and place. I was not alive in WWII and could not extrapolate based on this. My father and uncle volunteered to serve in the US Army in WWII, they did nit wait to be drafted. The USA was attacked before declaring War in 1941 and our response was self defense. Viet Nam never attacked the USA, we were interlopers.
