The draft had been operating before the Vietnam War; Elvis Presley was drafted into the US Army in 1958, serving on an M-48 Patton tank (the same tank used in the Vietnam War). He served in Europe, assigned to the 1/32 Armor (tank battalion): See film; "GI Blues", starring Elvis Presley. The draft ended in the US in 1973, the same year the US pulled out of Vietnam.
