[TR] off topic question

[Mark Hooper <mhooper@indiefilmnet.com>]

Sorry to ask a totally off-topic question: but some of the list members might 
know the answer.

In the days of the military draft, what happened to the individual's finances 
if they were suddenly called up? i.e. If you were making your mortgage payments 
working at a regular job with a decent salary and then you were drafted, with 
(presumably) a lower pay as a Private, did you just lose your home and tough 
luck to you, or was there some sort of protection?

Not trying to have a political discussion; just following up on an interesting 
dinner table discussion. All my close UK and North American family did their 
military service at 18 or after university, none were called up unexpectedly, 
so nobody could venture an answer.
