[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Had no idea they broadcast the draft lottery on tv! Jesus. Reminded me of the Hunger Games.[/quote] For real. What a weird thing.[/quote] I also didn't realize that the draft was based on picking birthdays. [/quote] This stuff should be taught in history in school. I am in my 50s (I was 7 in 1969) and remember this vaguely, mainly because my parents were anti-war and so horrified by the lottery process. What unimaginable pressure on young men (especially poor young men because those in college could be deferred) to have to watch their fate be decided on live TV.[/quote] The college deferment was taught at my school and I remember thinking how horribly unfair that was to poor young men. Never was aware of the tv lottery though and it just struck me as so surreal. I can not even imagine how horrible it would have been to be 19 years old and watching something like that. [/quote]
