This book describes what it was like to be drafted and sent to
Vietnam in 1967. 1.7 million American boys and men, age 19 to 25,
were drafted from 1965 to 1973 during the Vietnam conflict. 648,500
of those draftees actually went to Vietnam, a war many believe
should never happened; especially a situation where boys were
forced to serve or be sent to prison. John Wilson, then a 19 year
old, was one of those draftees. While fortunate to have come home
alive, in DRAFTEE, Wilson chronicles his life changing experience
that has an impact on his life to this day. His compelling story
details the rigors of pre-war training, enduring combat from the
jungles northeast of Saigon to the Mekong Delta, and living with
demons brought on by the war. After his service overseas, he
returns home to learn Vietnam Veterans are shunned and shamed by
the general public. Wilson provides insight to lessons learned from
the Vietnam War that should always be remembered; the underlying
message being, never force men to war unless our liberty and
freedom is compromised and there is no other choice At a time when
our troops are depleted from multiple tours of combat, DRAFTEE
raises timely concern that the DRAFT must be considered a last
resort before it is enacted again. If you have a draft age son you
should read this book.
