For real though, fuck the draft. The problem isn’t that he dodged it, it’s that not everyone could dodge it.
A big part of why it exists is that the rich can dodge it though. If they were at risk of actually getting drafted, they'd be less likely to draft. So him dodging it absolutely is a big problem
No drafting is the problem. No one should go to war against their will. Protecting the country with your life should be a choice. Unmotivated soldiers are useless anyway.
I mean, if unmotivated soldiers were useless then drafting wouldn't really be a thing. You get a hell of a lot of motivation to survive when you're thrown into combat.
ok not useless but a lot less useful, especially compared to trained military
