What is Conscription (The Draft)? The governments way of forcing young men 18 - 25 to fight in our conflicts when their isn’t enough professional military and volunteers available.

History of the Draft Civil War: The vast majority of troops were volunteers; however, of the 2,100,000 Union soldiers, about 2% were draftees, and another 6% were paid substitutes WWI: Selective Service Committee formed in 1917 under Woodrow Wilson. These boards issued draft calls in order of numbers drawn in a national lottery and determined exemptions. In 1917 and 1918 some 24 million men were registered and nearly 3 million inducted into the military services, with little of the resistance. WWII: The World War II draft operated from 1940 until 1947. During this time, more than 11 million men had been inducted into military service.

Vietnam The 1st lottery style drawing was held December 1st, 1969. This determined the order of call for the induction beginning in 1970. Any male born between January 1, 1944 and December 31, 1950. 4 lotteries were held during Vietnam – December 1969, July 1970, August 1971, and February 1972.
