Total draftees (1965-73): 1,728,344

Not every draftee was happy about receiving their draft card. Here are images that show some resistance to the draft. The last man drafted was June 30, 1973. Around 50,000 to 100,000 people moved to Canada to avoid the draft.

[] DRAFT RULES: If you are a man ages 18 through 25 and living in the U.S., then you must register with selective service. It's the law. According to law, a man must register with Selective Service within 30 days of his 18th birthday. Selective Service will accept late registrations but not after a man has reached age 26. You must be denied benefits or a job if you have not registered. You can register at any U.S. Postal Office and do not need a social security number
