The draft had been ongoing long before Vietnam started. SSS re-vamped things with the first draft lottery that was pulled in Dec. of 1969...too late for me, as I was sitting in basic training when that happened.
During the Vietnam War, the chances of being drafted were determined by a draft lottery system. Men were assigned a number based on their birthdate, and those with lower numbers were more likely to be drafted. The draft lottery was used from 1969 to 1972, and during that time, approximately 1 in 10 eligible men were drafted.
In 1969, the U.S. conducted a draft lottery for the Vietnam War, which assigned numbers to birthdates to determine who would be called to serve. Many men drafted that year were sent to Vietnam, while others were able to obtain deferments for various reasons, such as educational commitments or health issues. The draft led to widespread protests and significant social unrest, as many opposed the war and the draft system itself. Ultimately, the experience of those drafted varied widely, with some facing combat and others finding ways to avoid service.

No, college students were not automatically exempted from the Vietnam draft. Initially, they were deferred from the draft while enrolled in college, but this changed in 1969 when the deferment policy ended and all men, including college students, became eligible for the draft. However, some college students were able to receive deferments based on certain circumstances, such as enrolling in specific programs or maintaining a certain GPA.
The end of 1969 was the first draft lottery.

The draft numbers for 1965 were part of the U.S. military draft system established during the Vietnam War era. In that year, the Selective Service System assigned lottery numbers based on birthdates, with the first draft lottery held on December 1, 1969, for men born in 1944 to 1950. However, in 1965 specifically, the draft was still based on classifications rather than a lottery system, and the numbers were assigned to registrants based on their age and deferments. The draft continued to evolve throughout the Vietnam War, impacting many young men in the U.S. during that time.
