Rich men NOT getting drafted. If Rich men do get drafted; they get the BEST jobs. If Rich men do get drafted; they avoid FRONTLINE duty. Those are the ONLY cons of military conscription; otherwise, every man serves his country...but equally (unless they're physically or mentally unfit).
Northern men could avoid being drafted into military service through various means, such as paying a commutation fee, which allowed them to hire a substitute to serve in their place. Additionally, some could claim exemptions based on occupations deemed essential, such as certain skilled trades or roles in agriculture. Others might relocate to avoid the draft altogether or obtain deferments through other legal loopholes.
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.
