“The draft has nothing to do with military service, except to snag those who won’t enlist.”
That’s rather a lot to do with it.
“A man who wants to serve his country just serves, he doesn’t wail that he wasn’t ‘drafted’”
Yes, well, I haven’t heard Romney wail about anything of the sort. This is only an issue because he’s being accused of dodging.
“A man who can physically enlist, and won’t, well, that’s not a good thing.”
I’ve never gone through whatever process determines you to be physically fit, but generally I am. I never enlisted, though there was a massive attack on the homeland in my 19th year. There’s nothing whatsoever bad about not serving in the military. We are not Isreal, nor Sparta, nor Prussia. We can’t infer anything whatsoever about a man who declines to serve.
Men who won’t serve without a draft, are men who don’t want to serve their nation in uniform.
Romney now wails about serving he “longed” to serve, now.
Here is Romney complaining that he would have liked the easy way out, of being able to be in Vietnam, or at least the war time military, “There were surely times on my mission when I was having a particularly difficult time accomplishing very little when I would have longed for the chance to be serving in the military, but that was not to be.”
Since 9/11 (I assume that is what you meant) happened when you were 19 and you refused to enlist, it explains your posts, I suspicioned some form of deep guilt in them, it will only get worst for you as the years go by.
If I were you I would go immediately to a recruiter to see about the Guard or reserves, or active duty if you can afford the career interruption.
