27. You're exactly right.
I was drafted, served in VN, & wrote CO letters for people after I got out.

Just voicing an opinion would have had no effect on the induction process. And I saw people jailed for working against the war from the inside. (I was involved in the antiwar effort after returning from VN & before getting out of the Army but always made sure I was too small a fish for anyone to want to fry.)
