I was doing a project on this, and I think it ended after the Vietnam War in 1973, do to the war being heavily protested and rioted against.
The military draft, and no end to it (no end to the war & no end to the draft).
The draft has expiration dates. It expired and Nixon renewed it until he could pull out the remaining US troops.
The 3 Most Common Examples of the Military Draft in the history of the U.S.A are The Confederacy put in their draft in 1862 The Union instituted their draft in 1862 (mass riots ensued in New York and Boston) In Vietnam the military instituted a draft in early 1969
Yes, towards the end of the Viet War.
In 1975, the United States officially ended the military draft, transitioning to an all-volunteer force. Therefore, there were no draft numbers for that year, as the Selective Service System had ceased induction operations following the conclusion of the Vietnam War. The last individuals were drafted in 1973, marking the end of a draft that had been in place since World War II.
The end of 1969 was the first draft lottery.
1973
The last draft in the U.S. military was during Vietnam. The draft never really "stopped" because it was never really "going". It is simply a military policy that is enacted during times of need.
Selective Service registration in the United States did not officially end, as the system remains in place. However, the last draft was held in 1973, transitioning the military to an all-volunteer force. While registration for the draft is still required for men aged 18-25, no draft has been implemented since then.
Yes, until the end of the Viet War, then it went away.
1973
Uncle Sam went after the 22 year men before he hit the 19 year olds.
