"admitted draft dodger status"

I never was confronted with the draft. I was in school and then taught and then when i was subject to the draft i got a high lottery number. I feel guilt that others went in my place so somewhere someone may have died in my place if i had either volunteered or did not secure a deferment. My guilt has nothing to do with me thinking i did something wrong. I am not a warrior by nature so it is not something i would run and do unless i felt a threat to my country/family etc. Feel that way about islamists--too old to do something about that however.
