Explanation

As U.S. casualties mounted, more Americans questioned the war and its costs. The enemy was often difficult to identify, which made the conflict seem unclear and hard to win. The draft also fell disproportionately on low-income men, fueling a sense that the burden of fighting was unfair; citizens were not equally likely to be drafted.
