In 1968 we got a huge fill of young men whose college deferments had ended and they didn't have a backup way of getting out. Remember: You typically got out of college at 22 or 23. You were liable until you were 26 (technically, 35). Some draft boards went out of their way to "look up" these people when their deferments ended. |
