Vietnam draft age?
Ages 19 through 26 were the largest groups of men netted by the government. One must remember boot camp was tough in the 1960s. The training cadre (senior NCOs and Majors and above) were WWII veterans. Those WWII vets didn't play games! (They definitely were not politically correct!). Ages 19-26 were pretty healthly age groups to withstand boot camps back then.

Did they jam dog tags in the teeth oF dead soldiers in Vietnam war?
Dead GIs yes. Best way to secure the tag: 1. Place in the mouth 2. Tag can't be lost or misplaced 3. Tag can be easily found 4. Tag can be positively identified to that particular corpse Men in the field do not always have a string to tie the dog tag to the body. In addition, in battle, while dragging dead men, uniforms have a tendency to COME OFF while dragging the body. Which is why when viewing dead bodies in Vietnam on television or book photos you will see many of the corpses appearing to be nearly naked. Their clothing (uniforms) were ripped off during first aid procedures (finding the bullet hole/shrapnel hole, then trying to patch it up) then further ripped away during the dragging process to the choppers or LZ (landing zone). Dog Tags were often tied to the jungle boot's boot lace; one tag per boot. Boots would survive alot better than flesh and cloth. So naked dead torn up pieces of flesh, if they still had a head (and mouth) then yes, place the dog tag in that hole (mouth).
How could young men avoid the draft in the Vietnam war?
Approximately 22,000 US draft dodgers were indicted; 8,800 were convicted; 4,000 were imprisoned. Many left the United States and fled to Canada to avoid being drafted. Others avoided being drafted and sent to war by joining the national guard or some other agency that meant they were already in the military but not subject to being sent abroad. Some also evaded the draft by staying in college or other schools to obtain a deferment from the draft. The reasons for refusing to fight in the war included fear of personal injury and death (cowardice?), pacifism or conscientious objection because the war was not a just war or the U.S. had no business fighting it.
