When the rich and politically powerful parents began having their son's drafted into the military...it was time to put "their foot down!" And they rallied behind the "anti-war" (read anti-draft) cause. The draft (conscription) expired in the early 70's (on Nixon's watch) and was not re-newed. Although President Reagan did manage to salvage the draft registration portion.
