I was opposed to the draft then, and am opposed to it now, for philosophical reasons. I am a libertarian, I don't believe that people should be coerced into serving the interests of others.

There's also the other side (or maybe another portion of the same side) of the philosophical anti-draft coin: There are those (libertarians among them) who believe that a nation/culture that cannot succeed in recruiting sufficient volunteers to defend it and its foundations doesn't deserve defending.
