You lost me there. What, then, would they do? Wait for a draft there never came?
Look guys...I'm not naive, nor was I born yesterday...and you are sure as he11 not the first to see conditions that weren't pretty. You folks aren't the first to consider getting out, nor will you be the last.
Have you guys ever heard of the 'Dear Boss' letter? Check it out sometime. Your generation isn't the first to have b1tches. That was my generation, written by another F-4 driver who was in my year group. Not a single one of your complaints was anything new 30 years ago.
Some people stuck it out and tried to make the system better. Some didn't.
Oh...the guy who wrote the 'Dear Boss' letter...what ever happened to him? Did he go to AA or Delta?
Nope...he's currently the ACC Commander.
