No, you don't. Most guys my age were not drafted.

From Wikipedia:

There were 8,744,000 service members between 1964 and 1975, of whom
3,403,000 were deployed to Southeast Asia. From a pool of approximately
27 million, the draft raised 2,215,000 men for military service (in the
United States, Vietnam, West Germany, and elsewhere) during the Vietnam
era. The draft has also been credited with "encouraging" many of the 8.7
million "volunteers" to join rather than risk being drafted. The
majority of servicemen deployed to Vietnam were volunteers.

Of the nearly 16 million men not engaged in active military service, 57%
were exempted (typically because of jobs including other military
service), deferred (usually for educational reasons), or disqualified
(usually for physical and mental deficiencies but also for criminal
records including draft violations). Nearly 500,000 men were
disqualified for criminal records, but less than 10,000 of them were
convicted of draft violations. Finally, as many as 100,000 draft
eligible men fled the country.

LetÂ’s see. A pool of 27 million men, and less than 10% were drafted. Not
a big percentage. Some 8.7 million volunteered, less than a third of
those 27 million in the pool.

===

Just because a person was not drafted does not mean that their life
was not altered by the war and threat of the draft. Lots of people
enlisted to get their choice of service branch or specialty, and
countless others joined the reserves or national guard if they were
lucky enough to get in. Usually by the time you had to report for a
physical it was too late for the other options.

My draft notice was sent to the wrong address. Gave me time to get in the
Air Force instead of army draftee.


Mine came to the correct address however you were permitted to join a
service of your choice instead. The Navy recruiter told me to just
ignore it.

According to you, Wayne, my claim that most guys my age did not get a
notice to report for the draft was "all horse ****." But it wasn't, so
rather than respond to your false claim of "all horse ****," you changed
the subject to something else.

I never said or implied the draft had no impact on the lives of those
age-eligible men who were not drafted. That's an entirely different
subject from the one I raised.

Another nice try on your part.

The AF sarg said had to check with the draft board. I actually used my

that Ron Dellums defeated. Jeffery Cohelan. Not liberal enough I guess.
