Amy,

re: how much smaller do you think it was? 1/2 or 1/4?

I read it somewhere recently, but I can't remember where or the exact details. My recolection would put it as 1/4.

re: Also, how many people did they eventually draft?

I'm not sure about that either, you could probably google "Vietnam draft" and find an answer. The peak number of US troops in Vietnam was ~500,000.

re: This doesn't look good.

The draft has a funny way of getting younger people involved in politics. That's the upside.
