very probably not. if they allowed him to start his career 1st,
and then when he's established, to return, he probably would. his
main reason for not returning after establishing his career was
because he was fearful of the risk of being jailed. Nobody in his
right mind would want to waste their youth sitting in a jail cell.
So if there wasn't the risk of a jail sentence sitting over his
head, I'd say he would have returned to serve. As it is, it was the
70s, things were even more draconian and inflexible then. So
circumstances being what they were, what happened happened.
