Vietnam was America's last drafting of young men for the military. And we still had "authorized" ways of buying one's self out of that. If a fellow stayed in college, carried 18 units and a 2.0 average, he recieved a "college deferment." If one was too poor to go or didn't go to college, then obviously he could't recieve a "college deferment", and the army would be sending him a letter.
