Best Answer

Society for the North Vietnamese, South Vietnamese, South Koreans, Australians, and the United States all had to live their lives around the fear (or concern) of being inducted into the military of their respective countries until the war was over.

No marriage, no children, no career (job), no house, no new car, no college, no trade school, until they were certain they wouldn't be drafted into the military. Because if they were (drafted)...they certainly wouldn't be able to do those things (until they were discharged)!

18 year old people can vote now. Young men don't have to worry about being taken (drafted) from their wives and children, or college, or their civilian careers.
