They never said drafting. They said "sending" and if you paid attention to politics and US actions during the war, the recruiters are always sent to the poorest cities in America first. Here in the suburbs of Detroit(near Pontiac), we have recruiters from every branch of the military at our lunches...yet down the street, in a richer part of town(Bloomfield Hills) there are no recruiters in sight. The poor are, indeed, the ones being sent over. They have less to lose.
