Help our fight for freedom from the Draft! "Young men unfortuate enough to be ‘selected’ are initially required to attend a two week ‘boot camp’ which has been described by many as the worst period of their lives and for good reason. During this time they spend eighteen hour days being constantly cursed, humiliated and abused. They are awakened by filthy mouthed officers spewing out expletives at 5:30am. This abuse continues thoughout the entire day never ceasing for one moment. Even during the times of dining they are shouted at and reminded of the 2 1/2 minutes limit given to finish meals. At 11:00pm they are confined to their sleeping quarters and cannot leave even to use the bathroom. This has resulted in the young men being forced to urinate in plastic bags, soda cans and even out the window. The British M.P. Andrew McKinlay, a staunch supporter of B.A.D., brought this to the attention of the English House of Commons in February of this year. He was eventually muzzled."
