Postwar Babies Hold Draft Burden Steady Says Selective Service
Deputy director Col. Daniel Omer says men over 26 face little risk as postwar births swell the 18 year old pool. About 150,000 to 160,000 youths turn 19 monthly while 2 million reach 18 this year. Enlistments rise when calls are high, with 27,000 called and 33,000 examined and accepted. Draft policy shifts lift ban on drafting childless married men, with states planning December or January starts.
