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.

BlakeThe drafting of US men into the US Military did NOT end in 1962. The draft continued from WW2 thru the Korean War until the end of the Vietnam War (for US forces) in 1973. Nixon had received a draft extension during the war.
