During the Vietnam War, the Selective Service System implemented a draft lottery system. All male citizens and residents between the ages of 18 and 26 were eligible for the draft. The lottery was based on birthdates, and those with lower numbers were more likely to be called for military service. The draft was controversial and led to widespread protests and resistance.
