Yes, from time to time I was in the streets too. I lucked out in the draft. I was in the first year of the lottery, had a high number and came from a state, Hawaii, that had a high enlistment rate. It was through a fluke that I was spared a trip to Viet Nam.
It definitely make a difference between a volunteer force and a draft force. But excluding a national calamity I don't think we will ever see the draft again. Is that fair?
