7. I know people who tried to get out of the draft. None of them are chickenhawks

who wave guns around on a damn near daily basis, puff their chest out with bravado for killing animals on a damn near daily basis, nor threaten to take armed action against the President.

I know pacifists who served. I had family who ran to the Navy before they got pulled into the Army. Avoiding the draft was nothing to be ashamed of, but pissing yourself for a month before the review boards then trying to act all macho some 40 years (or so) later is another act entirely.
