Question 7 • LHS Oklahoma History

Which of the following is not an example of how the draft contributed to the Vietnam War’s unpopularity?

Answer
A
Young men at age 18 were forced to apply for the draft.
B
The draft continued despite the fact that Congress never officially declared war.
C
Americans believed that the military was not drafting enough soldiers.
D
Drafted soldiers were too likely to be wounded or killed in action.

Explanation

The draft became unpopular because many young men were required to register and serve, and some objected that troops were being sent to fight without Congress officially declaring war. The risk of being wounded or killed also made military service deeply unpopular. Believing that the military was not drafting enough soldiers would not explain opposition to the draft, so C is the answer.
