This is a 37 second excerpt from the first interview with Michael Willetts. (The complete interview can be found in Chapter 3 in the "Full Text" section.) The excerpt is as follows:
It's funny you should react like that, because in all the time I've spent thinking back over my Draft Board experiences, that's what I realize most surprised me about them - how cool they could be about it. That way they'd sit in a room and see person after person, and be completely cool about who should go to the war or not. I might add that the cases of exemption recommended by those five were pretty damn rare, if there were any at all. I never heard of anybody classified CO from here, or classified anything but 1-A without solid documentation to back them up, and that didn't always help. So there'd they sit, day after day, wrapped in the flag, signing death warrants.
