Could Military Draft Registration In The United States Come To An End? More than 11,000 volunteers would be in charge of determining which potential soldiers were eligible for induction.

How I Got Out of the Vietnam Draft â And Why That Still Matters At any rate, I was safe, and home free, and no longer affected by the draft. I hardly noticed the draft-related events of the next few years: In 1973 the draft ended, in 1974 President Ford offered conditional amnesty to the draft dodgers — 40 years ago today — and in 1975 the war ended. But by then the draft had already done great damage to the U.S. military and its image.
