Amy, the Gen X and Y's aren't protesting because they aren't facing the draft. Consider, my generation faced being forced into a kind of slavery by the government where we either HAD to go and kill or be killed for the government's aims against a people that hadn't attacked us and we had no particular animus twoard, in a country most of us had never heard of. The only way out for many was to flee the country as refugees and fugitives or go to jail as a criminal. We witnessed the politically connected like our current President use dodges like serving in the National Guard, which meant you didn't have to go at the time. Deferrments were granted by the local draft boards, and also went to the sons of the powerful.
