The reason the 26th amendment was passed was because of the Vietnam War. It was reasoned that if a person could be drafted and sent to war at 18 they should also be able to vote.
It was in the papers and TV; the same as any event, even today...until they got drafted!
I really would love the knkw te number of.blacks sent to war to the number of whites.
I believe they drafted to the age of 32

There were drafted hippies in the infantry in Vietnam; they were good men.
