Plan to Draft 18 year olds Gains Favor in Senate
A Senate Armed Services panel leans toward lowering the draft age from 19 to 18 after days of hearings on meeting military manpower needs. Senator Lyndon Johnson says three options exist, including drafting 18-year-olds, drafting veterans, or easing safety goals. The hearing draws hundreds of questions and protests, with Gen. Omar Bradley set to testify as final military witness. Morse seeks reserves buildup by extending service to 27 months and urges consideration of Reserve Officers’ Association proposals.
