Millions of kids were subject to the draft. But only those in college could get a deferment. Nobody should have been able to put off service if others couldn't. Both the draft and volunteer military are a way of making sure the kids of the rich don't have to fight and die. It's a lot easier to send some poor kids off to war when your own kid doesn't have to go. Rich people start wars and poor kids fight those wars."Millions".
OMG, you really just make up whatever you want to say, and spit it out. There have been just over 1 million killed combined in every war the US has been involved in since 1775.
The worst since these kinds of deferments went out by a huge margin was WWII. And the deferments went out because those graduates became the officers we needed as the war went on. They did indeed get drafted, and sent to OCS to lead the others who were drafted as enlisted.
But I guess to you, WWII was senseless. And every other war. No, sorry but once again, your almost nonsensical claims are rejected because they are incorrect, and inflated for some weird political purpose.
