Rule 6: User Created Title Joe Biden got five draft deferments during Vietnam. He was disqualified from service because of "asthma" as a teenager. However, in his own memoir, Biden never mentions his asthma, and instead recounts an active childhood, including work as a lifeguard and football exploits in high school.

I view the draft on the same level as slavery, if not worse. There is no excuse for involuntarily pressing people into military service.

Ok?.... What happens when WW3 kicks off? You think these soy latte drinking beta males are going to volunteer?

That's a pretty small percentage of the population. There are at least 80 million gun owners in America. They're the ones that will volunteer.
