How the Draft has Changed Since Vietnam
If a draft were held today, it would be dramatically different from the one held during the Vietnam War. A series of reforms during the latter part of the Vietnam conflict changed the way the draft operated to make it more fair and equitable. If a draft were held today, there would be fewer reasons to excuse a man from service.
Before Congress made improvements to the draft in 1971, a man could qualify for a student deferment if he could show he was a full-time student making satisfactory progress toward a degree.
Under the current draft law, a college student can have his induction postponed only until the end of the current semester. A senior can be postponed until the end of the academic year.
Nothing wrong with that…Student deferments were a cop out and cowardly way to avoid serving……….I worked for a Jewish guy, that majored in Latin ( Dead language)only, to become a store owner. He proudly boasts of how he stayed out of VietNam…..I no longer work for such a low life. Besides, if he had been drafted, he would be so cowardly, he would cause his fellow servicemen to be killed.
