I'll make it simple. If there are enemy soldiers/planes/boats/dinghies coming this way, pass me a gun. That's just plain ol' self-defense, which is fine in my book. They're taking it to you, and you're fighting back.

But physically moving people over to a hostile situation doesn't lend itself to the self-defense defense IMHO. You're taking it to them.

Personally, I hate war. You will not see me fighting in a war, unless it falls into that self-defense category above. Hence why I'm getting into the field where the worst battle is dodgeball--elementary education.

By the way, if I recall my reading right, the way the draft works is that they have two sealed drums with balls in them. One has every day of the year, the other has numbers one through 366 (leap day). They draw one date and one number from each of the drums. So if May 20 was drawn first, but the number drawn was 362, then people born May 20 would only get drafted once everyone in that age from numbers 1 through 361 were picked. Once the order is set, 20-year-olds get picked first. Then they go to the 21-year-olds, then 22, then 23, and so on and so forth, with 18 and 19-year-olds being the last to get picked.
