The thread had to do with military recruiting and the continuing lowering of standards because we don't have a draft. You participated in this discussion, posted at least one article with commentary, and have posted snippets of your own experience. That is what prompted my question:

You said you were a "volunteer" during the Viet Nam draft era? Care to explain why? Education? Travel? Training? Absolute commitment to the reasons the U.S. was involved in Viet Nam? or because you knew you'd be drafted, at least you'd have your choice of service and assignment?
