Approximately 40,000 men a month were being drafted into the military. Most of these were 18 year old boys who were not old enough to vote, however they were old enough to be drafted (meaning when their number came up, they had no choice but to enter the military or go to jail) to fight for their country. Many felt it was unfair that these boys were not allowed to vote for the members of Congress who were sending them to kill and die via Vietnam. This is one of the main reasons for the protests.
