I believed the poor Black, Latino young men were proportionately more affected by the draft. They certainly were proportionately a very high percentage of Grunts! TC, correct me if I am FUBAR on this.

IтАЩm not old enough (quite) to have firsthand knowledge about draft issues; I am well aware that then as now POC are a high percentage of enlisted (as a distinction vs. officer) personnel. I believe that it was white guys getting their lives derailed is what spurred the anti-draft fury.
