However, even your sentence overemphasizes a fairly small effect. 60,000 out of 9 million soldiers died in Vietnam. Less than 1%. More if you consider after-effects, but still not huge.60,000 Americans died before their time (mostly in their early-mid 20's) because they went to Vietnam (by definition, they did not dodge the draft). A much smaller number of draft-dodgers died prematurely (accidents, murder, etc) during the time that they would have otherwise been in Vietnam. In other words, dodging the draft increased one's chance of being alive today. |
