Schwabe explains that his efforts to introduce bills to release men have not been successful due to the influence of the New Deal program and military authorities. He expresses his support for the soldiers but also mentions his concerns about drafting teenagers.

They question the decision not to draft men in their teens or above a certain age, and highlight the lack of action to release men in these categories. They emphasize the importance of good faith and understanding among nations for lasting peace."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/George%20B.%20Schwabe%20Collection%20/CAC_CC_047_1_0000_0000_0000-79th%20Congress,%201945-1947/CAC_CC_047_1_6_46_0000-Selective%20Service,%201946/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_1_6_46_0008_thumbnail.jpg "Soldiers Speak Out: The Reality of Overseas Service")
