For those who are interested in this subject, especially researchers and historians, I posted on my website extremely rare material dealing with one man's struggle to avoid being drafted into the US Military for religious reasons.
This is a huge downloadable collection of correspondence between Richard Rawe, his draft board and government officials after he was ordered to report for military duty. Richard saved every letter and even the envelopes from the time he was called up for military duty when he was 18 in 1952 until 1960 when he was 26 and too old to be drafted.
What makes this collection unique and special is that there are many, many important private letters from Watchtower attorney, Hayden Covington to Richard containing instructions and advice. This is historical material that allows us to peer into the legal mind of Covington with regards to the draft situation during that time period. It also serves to give us a glimpse into a time in America when one young JW man refused to become part of the military because it was a requirement of his religion for him and all other young JW men of draft age to do so and not because they were pacifists.
