The draft was a process that would take place during wars. Since not enough men would volunteer to serve in the military during a time of war and the United States needed more soldiers to fight against the enemy, the government would enforce the draft. There are ways in which people can legally and illegally avoid the draft. Legally, people could be deferred by health reasons and educational reasons. If someone was going to college, they could avoid the draft.
Illegally, people would avoid the draft by running away or hiding in another country. Donald Trump did not serve in the Vietnam War. It is believed that Trump was able to avoid serving in the military by being in college and a minor injury.
