frick that. I am a country first person when it comes to governing, the country should be first priority instead of party, but I don't think the government should put themselves in a situation they shouldn't be in, then make young men go risk their lives because of it.
And to be honest, if I were a black America during that time, I would be even less willing to go (or more likely to avoid). I am sure this will be unpopular, but if you were denied the same right other people had, simply because your skin is a different color, would you be willing to go fight for that government?
Anyway, my grandfather joined the army the day after Japan attacked pearl harbor. If I thought our country's democracy was being threatened or at risk, there would be no question about it, I would be ready to go to war, otherwise; I don't think there is a problem if someone tries to get out of or decides they do not want to be involved in war.
