"Draft dodgers were to be admired."

A pure Canadian narrative. What else can you say to justify:

1. Taking it upon yourselves to claiming an American law unjust
2. Giving safe harbor to those fleeing justice

Draft dodgers left their families to face the disgrace THEY should be to say nothing of placing THEIR burden on their peers. Over 9M  military personnel served on active duty during the Vietnam Era doing the job the draft dodgers wouldn't. Admired? Not to those veterans, their families and Americans in general.
