Wasn't there a draft for the Vietnam war? And probably also Korea? One of the issues I can remember there is that less-well-off people couldn't buy themselves out of the draft. This affected minorities especially.
- mnm1 6y agoYes, but not everyone that went was drafted. Obviously, I make an exception for draftees. Poor people got fucked over the most. Still don't deserve a holiday though, let alone two, especially when dodging was an option.
- kick 6y agoVietnam yes, Korea yes, laughably easy to dodge in both cases for poor and rich alike.
