Best Answer

Because wealthy children could afford to go to college; thus receiving a "draft deferment."

Most draft aged men had to work for a living, and couldn't afford to go to college, as that required carrying 18 college units to avoid the draft. 18 units was full time school.

So the men that couldn't afford college had to go to war instead.
