End May Come Next Year Says Nixon Draft Promise
PAUL HARVEY notes President Nixon pledged to end the military draft as Vietnam winds down. Army officials blame the promise for missing last year’s recruiting target by 9,000, with only 188,000 volunteers outside the draft. Col. Donald Roberts says enlistment drop began after the all volunteer goal was announced and peace talks may deter young men. He cites November election as tied to the draft issue and warns deviation could be politically damaging. A task force will study making volunteers work, due with recommendations by early November. Pentagon planners think better image and pay won’t alone lift enlistments. morale hinges on disengagement from Vietnam. Technicians and skilled work may replace mass conscription as the focus of a future U.S. force.
