What was the draft and who did it impact?

The draft, also known as conscription, is a system used by governments to require certain individuals to serve in the military. It has been used by many countries throughout history, including the United States during times of war.

The draft has impacted individuals of military age, typically men between the ages of 18 and 25, who were required to register and potentially be called upon to serve in the armed forces. The draft has been a controversial issue, with many arguing over its fairness, necessity, and impact on those who are called to serve.
