wars are ran for profit, but those who start them and make sure they go on are not looking for "money", seeing as these are the same powers that print money - they have no shortage of such. wealth on the other hand, relative to control over land, natural resources and people (laborers) is the kind of money they are interested in. johnson, and every other president or politician of whom we know their names, are merely doing the dirty job of convincing the public that going to war is "the right thing to do". it is not their decision - they just convey the message. the decision making is done on a much higher level.

The draft started before the US war in Vietnam. Your question is actually about when the USG started posting draftees to Vietnam. That would probably be in March 1966 when At Pres.

Prior to that, every announcement of further troop commitments included a statement that only volunteers were concerned.
