Based upon the hostility of the average person (man or woman) in the US at the time; probably 90%. The military draft had negatively affected people's attitudes towards the war; the draft meant they were involved in the war...and they resented that.
There was no Selective Service Lottery (numbers) in 1953. The Draft Lottery began in 1969.
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.
If you were born on May 9, 1955, your draft lottery number would have been assigned during the Vietnam War era draft lottery. The draft lottery for those born in 1955 took place on December 1, 1969, and the numbers were drawn randomly. Those with lower numbers were called for service first. However, specific draft lottery numbers can vary, so you would need to look up the particular draw results for that date to find your exact number.

The 1969 NFL draft was held on January 28 and 29. OJ Simpson was the overall 1st pick.
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. Bill Clinton was never in the military. He got a student deferment from the draft and avoided any form of military service.
