@gangpae48 It took courage to do what you did, and it took courage to do what they did, too. Think it's easy to exile yourself, maybe forever, at age 18, for something you believe in? I knew kids who did both, and none of them were cowards, although both bowed to some fears and faced others. As we all do. Perhaps it's time to let it go at last?

Unfortunately, the simple peace loving young folk of the 60's, who didn't want to become a statistic in the Vietnam war, were wanting freedom from the draft. I enlisted in the Air Force rather than tucking my tail between my legs and running to Canada. Those protesting masses are now controlling the country. Go Figure! Conditions are different now. We have wars but no draft. I;m sure if the draft was in effect, there would be many many contemporary protest singers.
