Conscription/Quotes

"I also think there are prices too high to pay to save the United States. Conscription is one of them. Conscription is slavery, and I don't think that any people or nation has a right to save itself at the price of slavery for anyone, no matter what name it is called. We have had the draft for twenty years now; I think this is shameful. If a country can't save itself through the volunteer service of its own free people, then I say : Let the damned thing go down the drain!"

- Robert A. Heinlein, 1961

"Military examiner: Is there a reason why you're keeping your jacket on?

Fonzie: I don't want to get caught in a draft."

- Happy Days
