If not, draft kids from families with higher than average 401K balances.

Notice how fast the US got out of 'Nam, when the college deferment ended, in the fall of 71? Guys who were already in college still had their deferment. Guys who graduated high school in 71 were cannon fodder candidates. Daddy couldn't hide them in college anymore.

For those scoring at home, the college deferment officially ended September 71. The Paris Peace Accords were signed January 27, 1973. Draft ended the same day the peace accords were signed. That war had ground on for years. Thousands of guys killed before they grew up. Start drafting middle class guys, and *poof*, war ended in 16 months.
