unclewest,
I never insinuated that Kerry had anything to do with switch to volunteer army.

However, the change to all-volunteer army followed so quickly on heels of Vietnam that it appeared to be considered the solution to the few(but still intolerable)incidents of atrocities & drug usage among ranks of draft army. Volunteer system helps screen out those personalities ill suited to disciplined life in military.
