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.
