The Draft
2015, English. Directed by Aaron Matthews.
Race, class, culture — the draft in the 1960s and 1970s was a lightning rod that lit up every schism in American society.
Historians, veterans, politicians, and anti-war leaders discuss the history of the military draft in the United States through the Vietnam War, and examine the consequences of its replacement with an all-volunteer professional force currently comprising less than one-half of one percent of the population.
