The military draft system is rather complex and involves tens of thousands of people throughout the US. If there is no draft, then advertising budgets for recruiting have to be much larger. It would be hard to compare, as the draft is needed when there is a vast need for large numbers of soldiers.
There was no Selective Service Lottery (numbers) in 1953. The Draft Lottery began in 1969.

Lincoln and congress first orchestrated the nation's first military draft during the US Civil War (1861-1865). Vietnam (1861-1975) was the last military draft orchestrated by Nixon and congress.

The FIRST US war to have an "official" military draft was the US Civil War (1861-1865); which also resulted in the nation's FIRST "draft riots." Vietnam (1961-1975) was the LAST military draft, with the accompanying last "draft riots." US males were drafted in WW1 (1917-1918), WW2 (1941-1945), and the Korean War (1950-1953).

The military draft. The military draft. And of course, the military draft. If people are NOT involved...they simply do not care. When they received that draft notice in the US Mail...they very suddenly cared!
Draft dodger!
The 13th Amendment guarantees freedom from slavery for all people and has nothing to do with a military draft. The US also does not use a military draft to date.

The draft expired in about 1970/71; President Nixon requested and received an extension for the draft until US POWs & troops could be pulled out by '73. The all volunteer military was transitioning in by '75. Until 1975, the US still had plenty of draftees fulfulling military duties; example: men drafted in 1970 had a commitment until about 1976.
