Who was most likely to be drafted to serve in the Vietnam War?
The Selective Service System drafted men at the age of eighteen during the Vietnam War(1964-1973). According to William Westmoreland, the commanding officer in Vietnam, the draft was "discriminatory, undemocratic and resulted in the war being fought by the poor man's son."
The US entered the war to reach an objective. That objective was to stop communist expansion. The goal was not achieved, therefore, the US lost the war.
