The profound cruelty of the draft

Eddie Slovick

Not a thing in the world he could do about it.

A shortcoming harmless to others, most likely, all his life, had he not been carried off to a stupid war America had no need to be involved in.

And then murdered for being wholly unsuited for the job.

Like an agoraphobe kidnapped for high iron work, and then shot for his incapacity.

And pour encourager les autres.
