You realize a lot of these soldiers were drafted against their will, right?

The atrocities the American soldiers committed on the daily are unforgivable. Period. I don't care if they were drafted or if they volunteered for being barbarians.

A few years in jail for dodging the draft is better than committing crimes against humanity.

No one is drafted against their will, there are simply people that value their freedom to kill far more than others lives.
