Why did the anti-war movement not develop further? " President Nixon did me a favor fifty years ago this month. He ended the Selective Service draft the beginning of my last semester in college.
I was a loser in the draft lottery for my birth year, drawing a "22". It was likely that men with numbers under 120 or so would be called for military duty, likely to Vietnam. For four years prior, I was privileged to postpone military service due to my student deferment that would have expired that May." https://www.columbiamissourian.com/opinion/local_columnists/when-nixon-ended-the-draft-50-years-ago-it-changed-the-course-of-my-life/article_20c863b8-98d7-11ed-8e1c-2b19c458cdaf.html?utm_medium=social&utm_source=email&utm_campaign=user-share -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
