“If a country can't save itself through the volunteer service of its own free people, then I say : Let the damned thing go down the drain!”

Robert A. Heinlein (1907–1988) American science fiction author

Guest of Honor Speech at the 29th World Science Fiction Convention, Seattle, Washington (1961)

Context: I also think there are prices too high to pay to save the United States. Conscription is one of them. Conscription is slavery, and I don't think that any people or nation has a right to save itself at the price of slavery for anyone, no matter what name it is called. We have had the draft for twenty years now; I think this is shameful. If a country can't save itself through the volunteer service of its own free people, then I say : Let the damned thing go down the drain!

“The past is for learning from and letting go. You can't revisit it. It vanishes.”
