Local Draft Office Eases Up On Call Volumes
The army cuts September draft quota to 8,000 and seeks to widen selectivity by amending the selective service act. Proposals would allow up to 90 percent of draft eligible men to be rejected, with the president granting authority to choose only the cream of the crop. Pentagon officials caution against extreme use, noting many in the lower aptitude categories may still find roles. Unclear, but the move aligns with a broader manpower reduction across services, reflecting a 100,000-man cut announced by the Pentagon. The September draft will bring total drafted since 1950 to over 42 million.
