I was a child in Canada during Viet Nam and I met a few draft dodgers. I grew up as a Quaker and always during times of war we get more people asking about Quakers (What do they do what do they mean etc). Many quakers would shelter draft dodgers, we also sheltered a defecting Czechoslovakian. I was at the wedding of one draft dodger, a very nice gentle man and a good potter. He had kids in Canada and was a good father. He became a player on a different board which allowed him greater use of his real talents. As a quaker I have great respect for Conscientious Objecters and draft dodgers. We all of us have duties to our counries but we also have duties to other people and to our beliefs. When they come in conflict with each other then we each decide which is the paramount duty.
