74. More than 17,000 draftees died in Vietnam before the war ended
That's one reason many are dubious not only about the effectiveness of a draft in preventing or ending war, but they also question the consequences to the innocent victims and their families.
That doesn't even count draftees who were wounded and maimed (for which you can multiply the 17,000+ deaths roughly by 5). That's something else we need to be thoughtful about... |
