Able bodied males between 18 and above (late twenties, based upon the needs of the service); by far, the vast majority of draft dodgers were simply males that were afraid of the military. They often said it, "...if I didn't have to go thru boot camp...I'd go! (to Vietnam)."
But it was FAR more honorable to tell people that you, "...didn't believe in the war..." than to admit you were just plain scared (of the army).
