Original Note:
The Selective Service Act of 1948 mandates that all men register for a draft in the event of war or national emergency. 17,671 draftees were killed in the Vietnam War and over 61% of servicemen in WW2 were draftees, directly affecting men's choices about their body. https://www.dav.org/learn-more/news/2023/todays-all-volunteer-military-doesnt-end-need-for-draft-registration/ https://www.nationalww2museum.org/students-teachers/student-resources/research-starters/research-starters-us-military-numbers
