Highest drafted punter of all time?
Ray Guy, drafted in the first round by the Oakland Raiders in 1973, is the only punter to be drafted in the first round in the NFL draft.
What were the chances of being drafted in Vietnam during the war?
During the Vietnam War, the chances of being drafted were determined by a draft lottery system. Men were assigned a number based on their birthdate, and those with lower numbers were more likely to be drafted. The draft lottery was used from 1969 to 1972, and during that time, approximately 1 in 10 eligible men were drafted.
Does the government draft gay men into the military?
Yes. Sexual orientation does not disqualify you for military service in the United States, nor in many other countries.
Why was the draft abolished?
When the rich and politically powerful parents began having their son's drafted into the military...it was time to put "their foot down!" And they rallied behind the "anti-war" (read anti-draft) cause. The draft (conscription) expired in the early 70's (on Nixon's watch) and was not re-newed. Although President Reagan did manage to salvage the draft registration portion.
What was a draft in the Vietnam war?
The only difference was the length; Korea only lasted 3 years, nearly the same time that WW2 lasted for the US. Men were drafted for both wars. But Vietnam kept going, and it gave time for future draftees to think...and organize...draft resistance movements.
