Well, that decision was four years too late for me!

September 19, 1969 — President Nixon announces the cancellation of the draft calls for November and December. He reduced the draft call by 50,000 (32,000 in November and 18,000 in December). This move accompanied his twin program of turning the war over to the South Vietnamese concurrent with U.S. troop withdrawals and was calculated to quell antiwar protests by students returning to college campuses after the summer.

A Complaint — 

Here’s my complaint: I was drafted in December 1965, after my student deferment had expired, so the federal government’s draft cancellation decision in ‘69 was four years too late for me (and certainly it was too late for vast numbers of other young men, many of whom died in Vietnam while fighting a war that made no sense except to greedy weapons manufacturers and irrational anti-Communist politicians). Hmm.
