The weakness of the anti-war movement

[kelley]

firstly, who made this odd connection to suggest that a draft would be a
good thing.  what?  so the 50% of the population who doesn't go to college
get to be the lucky ones?  coz i honestly don't think you're going to
convince anyone that a 20 yr. old ought to give up their education so they
can served 2 yrs in the service.

  33,629 killed in korea; 103,284 wounded
396,637 killed  WWII
[20million Soviets died--interesting social history there in terms of the
concerns of the huge decline in male pop.]

so no not as many killed & wounded, but soldiers were sent home in
bodybags.  i'd suggest that lack of protest had little to do with the
so-called lack of dead and wounded, but rather with the great fear of the
commies.  

as for the  draft,  gee whiz Paula doncha remember the Elvis gets drafted,
bravely gives up hot career to do his duty fighting the commies meets
Priscilla in Germany love story.   a grrrl like you having  spent so many
yrs in the music biz, fershame....
