Not so!  I quote from the back of my old draft card:

    The law requires you to have this certificate in your personal
    possession at all times and to surrender it upon entering active
    duty in the Armed Forces. ...

"In your possession" does not mean "on your person" (I checked about
that once).  I didn't like the draft either (at one time, I filed
conscientious objector papers)--but please get your facts straight
before flaming about it.
